However, I programmed up a Windows 10 hard drive with the 1607 build and was able to lock it in place with some tweaks to keep it from being updated past that. Took all of the garbage programs off, and it will never send telemetry to Microsoft. Drivers will update. It's finally where I like it. Fast, easy to use. Will probably use it by default now. Got Office 2016 on it too. Hopefully Microsteal will never find a way around what I did.
I reprogrammed my laptop this past weekend with W7 and Office 2016. I still prefer that there, but I may do a W10 install on that later this year as well if my desktop holds its current configuration.
Sorry but I cannot use a Linux based product. I'm just not that savy with it and to get into the nuts and bolts of it would take too much time to learn. If someone comes out with a "true" Linux desktop operating system I'll check it out. Until then, I gotta stick with Microsoft.
But is that enough?:)

Those are fighting words in the presence of many Linux-only devotees!
There already is a true Linux desktop. Try Ubuntu or Mint.
If you can keep from sending “telemetry” to Microsoft, you are savvy enough to use Linux. All you do is install and run. My guess is that you are sending plenty of data to MS but you are not accepting anything back like bug fixes or security updates. The Borg is going to get their data.
