Windows 10: New Lenovo W\ Win 10; Privacy Concerns

Hey everyone, I just ordered a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 Home 64. Now I've been using a locked down \ modded version of 7 Home 64 for years. Now the reason I say locked down \ modded, is because a round of updates from years before were considered to be a bit invasive... With said updates being built into W10 itself. So I did the research, ran a few scripts, got rid of the updates and just stopped with updates all together. (No worries, my one friend did more than enough stone breaking, but I haven't had an issues on my multiple PC's in years!)

However now that I'm moving over to a brand new laptop, I thought it couldn't hurt to see what the current state of all that is. And truth be told, my memory is a little foggy to begin with in regards to what those issues were from years before. So with hopes someone knows \ remembers what I'm talking about, thank you in advance!~

Win 10 Privacy Issues

I think everyone should be concerned, to a point, concerned NOT paranoid ( not implying you are). Privacy concerns with W-10 are all over the news, just google "Windows 10 Privacy" read and learn as much as you can and then decide how much concern you should have.

Everyone is gathering your personal date, your bank, your credit cards, your electric company, the city/county you live in and all governments. Obviously MS has access to a lot more than most others. The problem is the thieves buy bits & pieces of this information legitimately or black-market and can over time assemble quite a profile on just about anyone and the longer you have been around the bigger that picture will be.
