Security setting is different between Pro version and Home version.
Pro Version Setting
The Pro version has a setting to prevent hacker’s attacks by remote network. But it is not turned on by default. This setting may not be necessary unless you are connecting to a local network, however, it is supposed that your PC is normally connected to smartphones and other computers, so it looks like under the remote network. Just to be safe, it’s better to set it.
By the way, OneDrive only shares files with the desktop and folders, so your PC will not be attacked just for this.
Home Version Setting
The same setting is not seen on Home version.
It is afraid of no concern about the remote environments.
Only Use Numbers as your PIN
When you first start using Windows 11, you’ll need to set a PIN, so many people are probably using it as is. But when you’re using a Google account, you might be asked to enter this PIN, but it is sometimes only acceptable to use the numeric keypad. To prevent this, change your PIN to numbers only.
Do not check ” Include letters and symbols “.
If your computer doesn’t have a numeric keypad, you can enter your ID and password as a text file and then copy & paste it ( 
+
to copy, +
to paste). It’s good to replace Windows Hello with facial recognition.
Block the harmful sites
If you’re using Edge, make sure you don’t accidentally access the harmful sites that could infect your PC with malware. Edge itself has such a feature, but it’s not enough.
Use the Edge’s extension.
There is also a “uBlock Origin Lite”, but this one is more functional.
It blocks insecure sites ( sites that start with http:// ) and ad pop-ups to increase security.
2FA for Microsoft account
Microsoft account is required for Windows 11 and later, so be sure to set up 2FA ( two-factor authentication ) to increase security.
When you click “Turn On,” various messages will appear, but don’t think too much about it. Just click ” Next “. An email will be sent to your address.
Now, when you login from the device that you don’t normally use, you will be asked to enter the security code. This code will be sent to the email address you set up initially.
