Yes.

But folks habitually run Windows all the time with administrator 
privileges, dumb passwords and cancelled security updates.

So you might decide one more moment of idiocy won't hurt if your end 
game is oblivion. Just stay away from dodgy apps and dodgy wireless 
hotspots and you might be fine.

Personally, I don't think it's worth any gains you might achieve.
