I just read this i do not no if it is true or notbgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-opt-out/ Windows 10 is amazing. Windows 10 is fantastic. Windows 10 is glorious. Windows 10 is faster, smoother and more user-friendly than any Windows operating system that has come before it. Windows 10 is everything Windows 8 should have been, addressing nearly all of the major problems users had with Microsoft’s previous-generation platform in one fell swoop. But there’s something you should know: As you read this article from your newly upgraded PC, Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do.

The days of Bill Gates when M$ generally released quality products are long gone now. (Or was that just my imagination?) In any case, Uncle Bill became very wealthy by being protrayed as being esssentially honest. M$ has gone down the route of Disney, looking for the fast buck with cheap garbage. The best that can be said for W10 is that is is almost as fast as XP. If you check out this thread, mikkh points out that many of the more insecure settings can be made to prevent most of the spying. I have also posted a link to a tool that claims to be able to turn most of the problematic settings off, if you didn't do so when you loaded. computertypes.proboards.com/thread/8291/windows-10-spyware-ect?page=1&scrollTo=79698

Hi Elvis I like my windows 7 or rather liked it before W10 upgrade destroyed my PC and I had to replace it. I think I may follow you example and look into Linux. All the best "H"
