Hey Venosaur,
That I`m going to share is my personal opinion and I would like to leave the topic open.
I believe if you using this system as a home computer you do not need to install additional AV software the defender is performing quite good.
However you can install additional malware software for safe browsing.
I personally will recommend Zemana antimalware but you can make personal choice between that MalwareBytes and HitmanPro.
All of the programs have trial period so you can test them.
I would definitely recommend to use Chrome or Firefox as a browser with installed Adblock for chrome and Adblock + for firefox.
I hope that will lead you to something useful.
Many thanks,
Andy

Beginning with Windows 7, I used MSE (the precursor to the current Windows Defender) and Windows Firewall on my systems, with MBAM as a supplemental scanner just to ensure MSE (or me) didn't let something slip by. MBAM has never found anything.
Since Windows 8, I have used the new Windows Defender (WD) and WF and now use that combination on all my W10 systems. Plus I use MBAM Premium on my primary system and MBAM free on all my other computers.
What's important to remember is the user is ALWAYS the weakest link in security. If the user keeps the OS and the security software current, and if the user is not "click-happy" on unsolicited links, downloads and attachments, and if the user does not participate in other risky behavior like illegal filesharing via Torrents and P2P sites or visiting illegal pornography and gambling sites, and if the user uses strong passwords and does not write them down on a sticky-note "hidden" :r1: under the keyboard, then odds are infections and computer compromises will not be an issue. Being behind a decent router with NAT is a huge plus too - even on networks of just one computer.
