I was really thrilled with my recent upgrade to the new i7 Skylake after spending some time with the older Gen 1 i7 and getting a GTX 980 graphics card. I set up my W8.1 Pro and planned for a W10 update. After a week, the download and installation went smoothly. The new interface was impressive, and I really liked it so much that I’d prefer to stick with W10 again. Note...again because after a short while using W10 (with all the latest drivers), several BSoDs appeared like popcorn in a microwave—about ten at first, then fewer as time passed. It caused me serious concern about a hardware issue, but it stopped once I switched back to W8.1. A friend who just upgraded to the W10 Education Edition told me he faced the same problem and went back to W8.1 for reassurance. So far, I’ve been sticking with W8.1 for a month now and am curious if others have had similar issues and whether they’ve resolved them. http://imgur.com/a/T7gDt

The only reason I lost interest in Windows 10 was because Microsoft kept tracking all my activities on my PC, including my conversations. I realized I haven’t done anything wrong.

I've been working with both the official W10 release and the Insider W10 build for several months, and I've never seen anything similar. Could it be luck, or are the drivers causing issues?

You’re asking if it’s okay for Microsoft and the US government to have full access to your personal information, without mentioning any illegal actions.

A new setup should resolve your issues, with most problems easily disabled.

They're already handling it, the NSA is there.

I collected the newest drivers and checked their compatibility with W10. It wasn’t a lot of time—just three days—but the BSoD made it seem like a longer period.

That's the primary reason people stick with the current version, regardless of what they do on their PC. It's a bit amusing to think no one recalls Microsoft being sued for spying during XP. I don't remember it.

It really depends on where you are. You might feel trapped like in a movie, but it doesn’t change how you live daily. Unless your computer has sensitive data, they probably don’t need it. If they insist after turning everything off, just give them what they want.
