Most users are not going to know how to use group policy, and they intentionally obfuscate it on home editions basically telling you that you can't use it although there are some round about ways to install it. The only way to turn off these features in Windows is group policy and customizing your installation. If you wait to turn them off after installing Windows, then they've likely already collected and sent data.
