Hi Bill,
I wanted to point out that the things that you said about the updates and the business practices of Microsoft, are not how you think they are
Microsoft's applications are not spyware like you said they are. I would advise you to read their privacy statement please

Its simple, if you don't like Windows use Linux or Mac. I am not happy the way Microsoft went about collecting data, but its old news now. You have a choice, continue to use Windows or move to Linux or Mac. Apple are not much better and Linux has very little support and is not very user friendly for beginner users, its ok as long as you don't run into problems, that's when the problems start for people, there is very little or no support for these Linux distro, so you got a big learning curve to get things running right.
Linux issues I found to be a pain.
- Gaming, not great for the modem gamer
- Apps, if you us Linux apps its OK, but like all old Windows users, we are used to Windows programs and that can be a pain to get them running right.
- Linux is OK for Old hardware, it did not like my new computer hardware and believe it or not, it run a lot slower on Linux then it did no Windows.
So I would say if you are moving to Linux, make sure you are going their to learn Linux and use its apps and move away from Windows completely, most can't do that.
To end, would I use Windows 10, yeah why not. I will disable what I need and eventually move over completely to Windows 10 when all the bugs are ironed out.
