Let me add that use Samsung drives or other ones third party tested/audited if you're going to use SED.

Just remember every antivirus these days basically scans every file you have on your system and sends a checksum plus possibly section of the file to the "cloud" for analysis. Since you're already using Microsoft's shit just stick to Windows Defender, then at least your stuff is only being uploaded to one corpo's cloud and not multiple ones.
If your opsec doesn't suck ass you don't need AV anyway.
