What should I do first with my new laptop?

Remove any unnecessary antivirus software that came with the laptop.

No need, your laptop already has Windows Defender, which is more than adequate.

No, Windows Defender is superior to most antivirus software on the market.

@Hollis
How can I check if Windows Defender is active? Is it automatically running?

But what if I resort to downloading shows that aren’t available in my region, is Defender still reliable?

Ensure all your drivers are up to date. Update Windows as well. Don’t forget to register your laptop on the manufacturer’s website for warranty purposes.
