Another great tool is the Aegis Win7/8 cleanup kit. It'll uninstall all of the Win10 nagware that seems to make it into every OS update. It also blocks a lot of the MS phone-home hosts and removes a bunch of other spyware Microsoft has backported to Win7 and 8 from 10. "Block 197 bad hosts, change windows update to check/notify (do not download/install), disable automatic delivery of internet explorer via windows update, disable ceip/gwx/skydrive(aka onedrive)/spynet/telemetry/wifisense, disable remote registry, disable 31 scheduled tasks, disable windows 10 download directory, remove diagtrack, sync time to ntp.org, hide/uninstall 50 kb updates (see below)." https://github.com/th3power/aegis-voat https://github.com/th3power/aegis-voat https://voat.co/v/technology/comments/853510 https://voat.co/v/technology/comments/853510
