Well here it is. The latest Windows operating system Windows 10 or just W10 for short.
I always wait to see what everyone else says about Windows updates to their operating system before jumping on board. It always seems prudent to let the masses shake out all the bugs before committing to an upgrade.
This time is no different and even more important. I have heard some real pushy, invasive, heavy handed characteristics of W10 so we will just leave automatic updates off on our Windows 8.1 operating system PCs for now.
For those who just got caught up in the hype or just like jumping in the pool head first, there is some protection hacks already developed by the PC community. That is what I love about PCs. We got help.
For those who wish to go ahead and upgrade to W10 be cautious and follow this users careful instruction:
........... Windows 10
asks if you want to share all of your private information by doing an
express setup or control your privacy by doing an advanced setup. I
chose advanced setup and configured all of these settings before Windows
10 even loaded the first time. This article leads you to believe that
you have no choice but to go hunting for these settings after Microsoft
has already raped you for your private information.......
Where there's help there's choices. The biggest turn off to me is a lack of choice from MS to opt out of the upgrade. The bigger issue is spying on the user. Many first users complain of multiple pathways of serious data mining. Not just your browser history.
Here is a link to disarm some of the most dangerous data mining paths to Microsoft:

We will no doubt explore other operating system alternatives now and in the future.
