You can find tons of articles on how to do it from within Windows 10...but they only sort of work...


The best I can find, that seems to be serious, AND is from a safe well known company is...

If you are that worried about it then just don't connect to the internet.

Every platform fetches information. Android, IOS, Windows, Hell Linux does depending on the applications installed.

If you are that paranoid about it just don't use the product... or you know deal with it. It's not like you have anything that they would want to see anyways.

Just tried it on Windows 7, which it will work on as well.
I have spent the last few months, tracking down all the MS telemetry BS in Windows 7 and stopping it...

This tool found...MANY, that I had missed.

This basically.

If you are worried about being spied on, using windows 10 is the least of your worries. Not only does it collect generic information, but it's collected from the masses.
