Tablets Windows 10 : can patch, harden, install AV, IPS, firewall etc

We are looking at a few Windows tablets, mainly
1. Samsung Galaxy TabPro S
2. Lenovo Miix 510
3. Acer Switch 3

Q1:
Does the Windows comes built-in with a Windows Firewall? Planning to use it for customers to generate
e-Tickets at counter when they touch it but we want to filter it such its open ports are accessible only to
certain designated IP

Q2:
Can we harden it? Is a tablet's Windows 10 the same as normal PC's Windows 10?

Q3:
Can we install AV and whitelisting tool (from McAfee) on tablets' Windows 10?

Q4:
What about patching? Is it the same as normal PC's Win 10 patching or there are
special security patches (ie from Acer, Samsung, Lenovo) or the patches are from
MS ?

What's the reason/justification for Defender over McAfee AV ?

Currently we have McAfee EPO (ie centrally managed) but we don't have a central
management for Defender so to set up one just for a dozen Defenders will need
justification

Also we have Symantec Endpoint on our Servers and Windows 7 Machines but we are gradually moving to Defender
