I'm planning to pull the HDD from my bride's old Vista PC and
make an external drive. Buy a cable and box for the drive. And
use it to backup her Win10 machine. The drive is still good.
Then sell or donate the PC. So far no complaints from her on
Win10. Just some slight learning her way around. Me too.

So you're both okay with the telemetry and key logging it
performs? You can turn some of it off, but, not all. And, at any
time, a 'windows update' may reset the settings back to default.
IE: spyware functions restored. You may want to take a closer
look at the service agreement you accepted as part of the
installation process.


Whatever they are logging, it's no worse than what goes on with a
smartphone and most of us live with that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. AFAIK, My phone isn't running a
keylogger on me. Nor is it snooping thru the files I have stored
locally on it. Windows 10 does both. You do know what a keylogger is
right? Checkout the links I shared, it's very interesting.

From the first url:

But there are worse offenders. Microsoft's service agreement is a
monstrous 12,000 words in length, about the size of a novella. And
who reads those, right? Well, here's one excerpt from Microsoft's
terms of use that you might want to read:

We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including
your content (such as the content of your emails, other private
communications or files in private folders), when we have a good
faith belief that doing so is necessary to.


Nice job at taking something out of context in an attempt to deceive.
You just cut it off, right in the middle of a sentence.

that last part actually reads, when we have a good faith belief that
doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the
terms governing the use of the services."


But it's so much better when you leave that last part off, right?

Nuff said.
