Sure!

Start by turning off Cortana. This turns off your hot mic for Cortana's keyword listening.

Next, turn off the MS Consumer Experience. This is a substantial data miner.

Then, turn off telemetry. This is anonymous usage data. There are also ways to disable outbound data distribution from these services using a firewall, if you're tech savvy.

Finally, if you want a definitive privacy guide, just following guides like this. They give you plenty of additional settings to configure if you're uber paranoid.

As with all things, YMMV.
