I think the current best option for privacy-conscious users working with Windows 10 is to install Windows 10 LTSB version[1]. It doesn't contain Cortana, Store, all those fancy widgets, universal apps, IE Edge, and forced updates.

- castell 11y agoDon't forget Windows updates can update your CPU microcode. It's probably best to buy a device that doesn't come with Windows preinstalled. E.g. you can buy Lenovo notebooks that are 100$ cheaper and come with a DOS clone instead.
- tdkl 11y agoSadly you need to pirate it as an end consumer. One could rationalize the free upgrade with the pirated LTSB though.
