I agree with Gary, but would add the following:
Most of the "features" which are privacy issues can be tracked down and
turned off (they are all turned on by default), but the biggest problem that
I have with Windows 10 is not something that can be turned off. There is no
way to stop the operating system from downloading and installing updates,
which in effect means that the operating system will be whatever Microsoft
wants it to be in the future, and there is nothing at all that you can do
about it if you ever want to use the internet. One thing they could do, for
example, is decide that they are no longer going to offer support, and oh by
the way for those of you who don't want to buy yet another operating system,
Windows 10 will stop working altogether on such and such a date.
Yuk.

Wally, I am not a fan of win 10. It appears that Microsoft assumes that
all
users are gamers and/or want to join the social media world 100%. It also
appears the office software assumes a dolt of a user who has no idea of
how
to compose a letter or much of anything else - in other words they make
spelling/grammar/punctuation decisions for you whether you are interested
or
not. If you get into some of their games, they assume you want to play
games
with the world and store all your results and whatever on the cloud. I
prefer to keep it simple and that does not appear to be their plan.
My smarter friends tell me to stay on 7 or 8.1. But I was coming from
Vista!! And that wasn't possible (note the capital on the A, that was
placed
there by Outlook all by itself).
