| Paul, See my page, linked below: You don’t need tools, just patience to burrow into the native Win 10 settings. Email me if you need more help. Good luck.

I could not upgrade my version of Windows 7 but after a clean install I was able to buy a pro licence for about £2 on Ebay. This new OS is on a new hard disk so that I can swap it in and out with my active Windows 7 system. I now have a working version of Windows 10. I would like to contain its ability to send data back to Microsoft. There are various programs that try to do this but I have no idea how effective they are. The one I have installed is called WPD. It appears to be comprehensive but I have no way of testing how effective it is. Does anybody else have any experience of this, or of trying to control Windows 10 by any other means. There seems to be a community interested in making Windows 10 private and I would be happy to go down this route if I knew that it was effective. Paul |
