That’s why I prefer Gmail—it’s so user-friendly and I’m not worried about switching platforms. I turned off all data-collecting options on Windows 10 just in case, hoping nothing will affect me. Besides, my computer holds schoolwork, games, music, photos, videos, etc. For someone like me who doesn’t need highly sensitive information, the risks seem minimal. It’s unlikely they’d access personal photos or share them publicly.
What's the point? The whole operating system isn't completely free. Just because it's offered at no cost doesn't mean the OS itself is free. Being free doesn't guarantee people won't invade your security and privacy. And no one is saying you were completely safe on 7/8. Why does this matter?
The operating system isn’t something you have to pay for, it’s free. Pirates got it without even attempting it. It came to you without costing anything from your pocket. The ads and Windows being intrusive aren’t new ideas. Those who thought they were better than 7/8.1 shouldn’t be surprised when 10 feels just as intrusive.

Currently, some are obtaining it at no charge, which doesn't equate to the OS being free. It's reasonable to acknowledge this, since it was accurate before. Using derogatory language against those who agree isn't validating your point. Privacy and security were stronger (relative to) 7/8.1 than they are today. You can't ignore this. It's not just a small difference—it exceeds 7.81.

One option is to boycott, for instance, Windows 10 or voice complaints until they adapt or reduce the severity. Another approach is to switch to an alternative operating system (or whatever suits you) that avoids such absurd sharing/collecting and selling practices. You don’t need to isolate yourself to maintain your privacy; if you genuinely believe this is necessary or should be, it highlights just how far these issues have progressed and how compliant people have become. *your choices are plural after this note*
