The question I have is that if MS does call home thousands of times per day with Windows 10, how many times does it do the same with Win 7, 8 and 8.1? Is it just Win 10 that can’t be shut down or do the other older operating systems circumvent the privacy options too?

They added 3-4 patches in those older OSes which are similar snitchware.

You have to go into your control panel and de-activate the KBs that are relevant.
