...I've had relatively few problems, maybe 2 out of the 50+ required a clean install instead of an install on top of the existing operating system. Most of them were Windows 7 upgrades, some Windows 8 and 8.1.

It is a very "nosy" operating system but being online in general is like that nowadays. You can turn off some of the personal data collection but not all. You can also run on a local account but a lot of functionality is turned off.

Microsoft has figured out, like Google and everyone else, that the real money is in data collection.

If you haven't realized what the income model is, the "product" is now you.
