Are you downloading Windows 10 upgrade? or planning to do so in next few hours? then we are totally sorry for spoiling your excitement but we think that you should know some facts that can grade Windows 10 into a spying software.


With every new version of an operating system there comes new exiting features and Windows 10 is no doubt a major upgrade that brings along variety of cool stuff; including the legendary “Start Menu button”.

Along with sleek features, Windows 10 comes with new set of privacy policies that have attracted a lot of criticism with-in 24 hours of its launch.

You should go ahead and read Privacy Policy and Service Agreement yourself in detail to find out the extent of information that you would be sharing with Microsoft.

I think this one is the NSA's answer, oh, and Obama: "We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested or authorized. We also share data with Microsoft-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries; with vendors working on our behalf; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; to protect lives; to maintain the security of our services; and to protect the rights or property of Microsoft."

I take privacy policies with a grain of salt. They take information whether you say yes or not in my eyes. Every company. As long as you don't commit some heinous crime, I doubt they will ever look at your data.

I have opted out of everything, Kaspersky 2016 blocks all tracking companies, which I think is very good.

Under settings I have disabled quite many things.
After I finish setting everything I will post all my customizations under settings & other places to know experts suggestions here.

In actual overview people who are totally conscious/OCD should really complain for the newly Privacy Agreement however, at the end of the day, did you do something wrong? If not then why worry? Microsoft move isn't always surprise like other does.
