- I’m reinstalling windows on my PC and already reset my phone.
- I deleted my old Gmail account and profiles on my most used apps, which I want to recreate anew.
- I switched to Proton but obviously need a google account to use those apps again on my phone (movies and books trackers mostly).
1st QUESTION: if I create a google account with my proton mail, is it worth switching to it at all? Would it still be better than using Gmail?
- I had created two Microsoft accounts on my computer: personal and school. Worried about privacy I decided to reinstall windows.
- for the same reason I was gonna use a 2nd mail (probably Gmail) for the laptop but have doubts…
2nd QUESTION: if I don’t add a school account this time but only use my university email to access the apps and that’s It, can I be sure enough and use my personal mail on the laptop as well, for other stuff? My idea was to completely avoid using the proton mail on the laptop. Or can I use it safely? It would be easier with things like Tweek (calendar and to-do) which I would use on both devices… With 2 mails I can’t
Hope I didn’t make any confusion and thank you if you’ll be patient enough to help!
ANY advice or suggestion is welcome!
What are you worried about?
Create a VM on your machine and use it for things you don’t trust, such as a windows work/school account.
Didn’t know about that! I will look it up cause I’m curious, if you’d like to tell me more I’d love it (like is it just for security or in what other ways can it be used?)

There’s some instructions for the built in hyper-v. Use it for whatever you want. It’s just another windows machine without the need to have extra hardware or dual boot.
