I know that feel, it's very frustrating to download the blockchain from scratch.Mine got corrupted once, and I had to start from 0.
If you are using Windows, I wouldn't recommend Windows 10, stay with Windows 7 as long as possible. I would never run a node in Windows 10, something tells me it's backdoor-ready for Bitcoin.

It's been a long time since I've done this, when about to start syncing with the network I was prompted to decide if I wanted to allow access to my private networks (work & home etc) & also public networks & something about firewalls.

That's what I thought.
Thank you for confirming that, I know how to do that by accessing firewall settings. Thanks!
I get paranoid regarding bitcoin so I bought another laptop which is literally only for bitcoin core, nothing else.

You should buy a Trezor if you own a significant amount of bitcoin. Why don't you simply install Electrum, which is the lite version of Core?
We cannot guarantee you a safety of funds on computer that is connected to the internet.
If you are working with large sums of Bitcoin, consider using a specialized security technology.
