If you want to continue using Windows 10 then why are you asking about security here? When support ends, so does the security requirement. If you are worried about security then you have to upgrade the operating system or use something else that can continue to protect you. Frankly your question is daft for a public newsgroup such as this one. Norton is not free and for AVG you need to ask them if they will continue supporting Windows 10. Probably they will because you are the type of person they need to use their products. Sane people have stopped using third-party anti-virus products so there is a niche market for them to serve people like you.
