Windows 10 - Various Trusted Root Certifications Expired

[Revup67]

Recently (less than a month ago, I had purchased a new Windows 10 Home edition workstation from IBUYPOWER. After getting this system dialed in I have found multiple Trusted Root Certifications that were expired.


I then verified our Windows 10 Tablet from 2016 (Surface Pro 4) and found the same exact certificates Expired.

In both systems my findings were:


Trusted Root Certifications/ Certificates folder

1. Copyright (c) 1997 Microsoft Corp. for Time Stamping (last I read this was only necessary up to Windows XP / Windows 2003 Server). Expired 12/30/1999
   
2. Microsoft Authenticode(tm) Root Authority - expired 12/31/1999
3. NO LIABILITY ACCEPTED, (c)97 VeriSign, Inc. expired 1/7/2004
4. GTE CyberTrust Global Root - expired 8/13/2018
5. Equifax Secure Certificate Authority - expired 8/22/2018
   
   I'd like to remove ALL of these or update these certificates or other recommendation. I am aware there may be consequences for doing so thus I shall wait for validation.
   
   Any Microsoft MVP's that have info on the above and best way to proceed would be appreciated.
   
   Thanks
