Oh, it's costing you, just not in monies right away.

A default installation of Win10 is **** poor, but after doing a
bit of experimenting and tweaking I managed to get it working
quite well and have turned off quite a bit of MS spying...but am
quite sure there is more left I will have to trace down.
You can't turn it all off, and, at MS's whim, whatever changes you
did make concerning that are an update away from being reversed.

Some of the problems MS may some day fix, but most of them will be
ignored by MS.
Sure, why not. Those who don't know any better are installing Win10
like good sheeple.


Exactly what do you recommend then ? You criticized me for installing
Win7 , you don't like 10 , what are we all supposed to do , jump over
to Linux OS's ?




I am not an OS zealot, I simply use whichever OS does the job best.


That is why I have Windows, OSX and Linux machines.



I mentioned that I have upgraded a number of Win7 machines to Win10, but
my wife's main machine which is used to to real work, is staying with Win7.

It has worked flawlessly for years and it would not be worth taking a
gamble on Win10. There is zero chance anything would would better.
