How to prevent windows 10 from spying onto your search data

In the beginning of this month, Microsoft released the public version of their latest operating system Windows 10, which has already been installed on more than 75 million different devices despite of its ever-rising privacy and security reports about snooping on users.

Due to Microsoft’s privacy, Torrent trackers have now started to put a ban on Windows 10 users to protect their community.

While on the other hand, agencies and lawmakers over at Russian have demanded to ban the usage of Windows 10 within the country because the new privacy statements infringe Russian laws.
