Default Warning :Windows10 has a Bing Tracker

My own Computer Engineer
has confirmed that the Bing Tracker on Windows 10
can not be disabled
as then all Windows 10 Updates stop.


He told me to stick with 8.1
for now.


This Bing tracker follows everything you do.
Now Microsoft - Go Feck Yourself

Yes its Big Trouble if you add it to windows 8.1.



I would only Buy a Fresh Windows 10 Computer
without all the 8.1 before it.


My Main Desktop is 8.1
and I ignore the blue pop up about their fab upgrade

There are programs you can get that block windows from reporting back but still allow updates. Also, you can stop the windows telemetry service easy enough

I never upgrade to any new version of windows until at least a year after it's release because it takes that long for them to sort out the bugs.

I'm sticking with windows 7 64 bit arista.
Which operating system i use always comes down to my music studio software requirements. Windows 10 is nothing new from what i have read and seen on other peoples computers.
