Tails is pretty easy to use; https://tails.boum.org/
Seems like a lot of work and reading material for a Windows user who just wants to browse the web and not have to worry about corporate and government spooks. Plus there's the risk M$ is tampering with the virtual machine client, remember you still have UEFI too so it's possible.

I have two computers, one Win10 and one Xubuntu, both of which I built myself. I need the Windows computer for a few unfree things, mainly as a substitute for a television for my bedroom, and when I'm stuck with this pretty DRM machine for whatever reason, I'd rather use a GNU project browser than DRM and privacy risks like Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
