    This has been going around on the ‘Net the past few days. It has been found that Windows 10 uploads data to its servers even when every “feature” and app that normally might be expected to do that is disabled/uninstalled.

    Ok, maybe not actually. LOL. Conclusion (if you don’t want to read the rest of the post): Don’t upgrade.
