best way to remove spying on windows 10?

Recommended Posts

I'm buying a new optiplex 9010 with an i7-3770 cpu 1tb hardrive and 8gbs of ram (and it comes with windows 10) and I was wondering if there where any tips on how one might be able to remove all the unneeded features in it (eg: telemetry uneeded programs e.t.c) if anyone has good tips on how to remove these annoyances it would be much appreciated (it also has options to use older windows versions if needed)

I love pfSense. Get yourself a decent thinclient and a mPCIe adapter to add a second network jack and have it act as your internet router instead of plugging the internet into a regular store-bought router. Then install pfBlockerNG and one of the feeds is Crazy Max's Microsoft Telemetry, you can add this to your blocking repository. The benefit of doing it this way is any other computer on your network will be forced to abide by these rules. The next benefit is that if you get a new computer, upgrade, or add machines, these rules will always be in place without you having to manually configure them. You may want to fine tune certain things on the OS itself but this in large will help a lot of the snooping from taking place without having to lift a finger.

The only sure way is to not use them at all. There are ways to fight telemetry (e.g. O&O shutup Windows 10 - a helpful program) but you can never be sure that your system isn't "leaking".

It will till a new ssl /tls update releases and break https , like in windows 7 you need to install root certs update or when microsoft spy domain changes

A good way to stop spying is to set telemetry to basic only and delete some uwp apps using powershell
