Windows 10 spying

[Swiftz]

I upgraded Windows 7 to 10 in July last year using the free upgrade but have read some articles this week that Windows 10 spy on personal data, is there any settings or tools that I can use to disable the spying?

When you upgraded, did you custom install in the settings and turn all the data telemetries off?

That pretty much stops it, but if you want just install: https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/

Yep it deffo spies on you, Microsoft send all your personal data to some nasty person at the government who then sends the police round to kick your door in and charge you with reading OCUK

In all seriousness I really wouldn't worry about the anonymous data collection they do, they are not interested in your porn habit.

Set your telemetry to 0 using Regedit if you are completely paranoid.
