I ceased watching Barnacules' videos once it was clear he was consuming from the telemetry buffet.
I understand you're hoping for a positive experience with your upcoming Windows 10 installation.
Didn't move to Windows 10 because of the telemetry data. Was thinking about upgrading, but preferred to wait until those who fix bugs removed everything. However, it looks like they made a lot of changes, so those bug creators now have to start fresh. Strong negative opinion from me. Also, if Microsoft offered an option to completely disable telemetry, I'd doubt they would, given their past behavior.
Currently Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 isn't available for an Athlon X2 260. For the 1500X I only have Windows 10 as a viable choice. While there are methods to reduce telemetry data, I believe Microsoft shouldn't be exempt from these standards. Updated April 14, 2017 by Mike Soda corrected a previous note.
The main issue with the telemetry is that it consumes my bandwidth, many ISPs impose limits, and I don’t want to waste data on tracking my personal information. I’m unsure if Microsoft will cover the extra charges. B) I believe it’s unfair that Microsoft should not offer an opt-out choice.
