I thought the point of windows 10 was that it was going to be their last
OS like apple's IOS. That was what all the adds with the babies were
saying. They, the babies, would be using windows 10 forever...

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).
