New Laptop with Windows 10

I have a few ini files that I would like to edit but I keep getting a message to say that the file is write protected!! When I check its properties it is not write protected, could this be a firewall thing?
Should I get rid of (uninstall) McAfee? How do I know if Windows firewall is active?
What is the benefit of paying $150 for the pro upgrade?

Edit: I finally found that I had to change the users rights to the file before I could edit it, what a pain!!
Every time I create a new folder it is write protected, how do I stop this? Talk about frustrating!!!
