Dear Edward

I did not see an option to install with just a username. Perhaps I
missed something. What should I look out for.


Best wishes

Windows 10 has an installation option that lets you log in with any
username you like. You dont need to enter an e-mail address. You can
turn off other data-gathering options during installation or from the
Settings menu. Many security features, including Windows Update, will
only work if some data can be exchanged with Microsoft (or with Apple,
or with Canonical if you use Ubuntu, etc., etc.), and only Enterprise
and Education versions of Windows allow the high-risk of option of
turning off all data transmission.

Almost inevitably, someone will now send out a long high-intensity
message filled with warnings against the deep evils of Windows 10; some
of those will be imaginary. The same message may include useless
homegrown advice that will make your system vastly more vulnerable to
attack. You can get better information from reliable sources, e.g.:
