That should be sufficient for most user purposes. Windows Defender was able to detect a malware that was inherited from Windows 7 in one of the PCs I've upgraded, and in Windows 7 the PC had one of the "top" Anti Virus software in the market (I shall not name it). Although Windows Defender was able to stop the malware .exe from running but was unable to delete or quarantine it, it was easy to navigate to the folder and simply "shred" the .exe file, eradicating it permanently from the PC.
