Since its inception Microsoft has collected data from our computers, only now it would become legal, since by giving "OK" to the contract we would be allowing the company to make ALL our information no longer private.

If you have not yet upgraded to Windows 10, you may be interested in reading these lines before even considering it, because from our personal point of view the "free" upgrade to Windows 10 is not as profitable as they want us to see, at least not in terms of privacy. At the beginning of the month we already prepared an article to tell you how to "tame" Windows 10
once installed, and there are many configurations (and other things) that put the user's privacy at risk. In fact, Windows 10 is a real disaster in this regard, since practically every mouse movement, every keystroke and even images from our camera are sent to Microsoft's servers, even if we disable it and against our will.
Windows 10 is a real trap for users
Since its launch, Windows 10 has become a major headache for computer security specialists. According to the latest discoveries, Microsoft's operating system is in continuous communication with the company's servers, sending them our private data, and it even does so even if we disable these options.
And it is that in an ArsTechnica publication it has been discovered that although we deactivate these options to send anonymous data to Microsoft, Windows 10 continues to do so, and they are not anonymous at all. They claim to have analyzed the data that comes out of our system with Windows 10 and have found that data relating to:
Our personal data is sent to Microsoft servers .
Our passwords.
Every keystroke that is made.
Images taken from the webcam. In this last regard, the analyst was surprised to find that as soon as he connected a USB camera to the Windows 10 PC, the system sent 35 MB of data to Microsoft's servers. In fact, the user's voice is even sent to Microsoft even if Cortana is disabled. They have detected more than 80 MB of transfer to Microsoft every 15 minutes, so imagine.
And the most worrying thing of all is that the data is sent to Microsoft's servers even if we work under a proxy server (it somehow skips it).
Microsoft the Evil Doctor
This situation honestly seems to us like a James Bond movie plan (or Austin Powers) in which Microsoft is the Evil Doctor, the evil “bad guy” unscrupulous when it comes to carrying out his perverse plans.
This situation has already been reported to Microsoft, and the company has not yet commented on it (perhaps it should be reported to an official body). I don't know about you, but for the moment Windows 10 is not going to enter my home (only in the test bench because I have no other, but it will be disconnected from the network).

The note says: "Windows 10 is not going to enter my home (only in the test bench because I have no other, but it will be disconnected from the network)", apparently this decision does not help much, both for Win 10 as for the other versions, since for a long time it has been said that the hard can connect to the network wirelessly, even when we disconnect the PC from the modem and this in turn from the network.
Who only now finds out that ALL the information stored and / or transmitted through electronic means is permanently scanned by the system, has learned the truth with a few years of delay ...
