[QUOTE="4wd, post: 981275, member: 393358"] So the "assistive technologies" free upgrade\activation worked? Interesting. imo, get to know the thing, try personal fixes later, can break things if moving too fast. Keeping control over microphone, keyboard logging, webcam, are some first priorities. Webcam may be difficult to disable (unless if BIOS offers a switch), as MS reactivates it\reinstalls driver whenever it's turned of, needs a bit of tape :O) And put Cortana in chains, and send to jail asap :O) [URL="https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10"]O&O ShutUp10: download free antispy tool for Windows 10[/URL] should be safe to use on any system, and all settings reversible. Quite a vast number of options, gives a good idea about the amount of data MS tries to extract. A completely quiet system regarding personal\system info transfer to MS (+ god only knows who they share it with) needs some extra work. And [URL="http://www.classicshell.net/"]Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements[/URL] is updated for latest 10, I personally much prefer it to the hybrid monster ms currently calls a start menu. In addition to making windows system restore points -which may or may not work- am always saving some disk images (Macrium Reflect) right after any fresh install (and later some more images regularly) so can revert in a few minutes if anything goes wrong during either normal use or tweaking.
