Today, Microsoft finally took up its own defense. And as you might expect, it says that Windows 10 does not violate your privacy.
“From the very beginning, we designed Windows 10 with two straightforward privacy principles in mind,” Microsoft’s Terry Myerson writes in a post to Blogging Windows. “Windows 10 collects information so the product will work better for you. And you are in control with the ability to determine what information is collected.”
That should have been obvious to anyone except those who have an ax to grind—my theory is that Windows 10 is so good, making up and exaggerating privacy issues was their only recourse. But Microsoft has also posted two separate sites,one for consumers and one for businesses, that go into greater detail.
I had too many years of experience dealing with contracts - the contract is the contract and the contract states Microsoft can do these "alledged" things. Having a person say "Oh but we would never do that" or "But we only do this or that" holds no water - don't ask how I know 'cause I'll give you an earfull.

Personally I have no need for any of the built in apps or ever using a ms account.
I have no axe to grind I just simply do not like 10.

Second option is to join the insiders program and install 10 on it's own hdd/ ssd
