Just type privacy in the search box and go to the central location that has very clear settings. It's called "Privacy settings". It takes a minute or two, but it's not actually hard. (I'm now sorry I didn't time myself doing it.) It also provides excellent control over which apps can use your camera and microphone, and you can block all of them. You can go to "Speech, inking and typing" and click the button that says "Stop getting to know me" to turn off personalization. That page also has a link to privacy statements and a link to take you to Bing where you can delete any personalization info that has already been stored. It looks pretty clear to me. I'd also be interested if you can explain how this is any harder in Windows 10 than it is in Android or iOS.
