Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
If you are like me and like Windows 10 (or got it for free from somewhere) but care about privacy, there is a legitimate risk that information will be sent to Microsoft. Here's what I've done so far and so should you

* Win10 got an expansive section on privacy settings that you can manage. You should disable all those things like SmartScreen.
* Of course you can't be sure that Microsoft lets you tinker with every little detail. There's a program simply called Disable Windows 10 tracking. It can uninstall all those strange apps that comes with Win10 at once and block telemetry among other things. Use at your own risk and as always, you can't be sure that after doing this, no information will be sent.
* Don't use a Microsoft account for logging in.

I'm open to suggestions on how to reduce the risk as much as possible. I'm gaming a lot among other reasons so not using Windows is simply not an option.
