Meanwhile, Microsoft themselves are using Windows 10 to violate the privacy of your computer. Ironic.

No, not really.

if you never communicate with Microsoft about Windows 10 they won’t put anything on your computer that has anything to do with storage. If on the other hand you reserve your “free” copy of Microsoft Windows 10 then they will start downloading it to your computer. If you read the notice from Microsoft they will tell you that, like an idiot however I didn’t. I guess I trusted Microsoft. Anyway if you don’t want it turn automatic updates off and don’t reserve a copy.

there are switches in the install and later that can cut off the communication with Microsoft

It is not the threat to privacy many here have sworn to
