How to disable Windows 10 tracking
Many Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 users hesitate to upgrade to Windows 10 since they viewed lots of posts saying Windows 10 will track and share their information online. Indeed, privacy security is one of important things every user who wants to upgrade to Windows 10 should consider.
Windows 10 Tracking Issue
By default, Windows 10 will gather up your contacts, calendar details, location data, email address, and so on, and then sends them all back to Microsoft so that it can be used for personalization and targeted ads. But fortunately, we are able to automatically disable most Windows 10 tracking features during the upgrade or installation process or even after the installation.
How to Disable Windows 10 Tracking Feature
1. Disable during Installation:
When the Settings screen appears, please choose “Customize settings” rather than “Use Express settings”, and then you can disable everything on this page for maximum privacy protection.
In addition, you are suggested to use a local account rather than log in with a Microsoft account, which can share less data with Microsoft.
2. Disable after Upgrade or Installation
Choose Settings , and then click Privacy to get the window below:
Here, disable all options that may leak your privacy.

Actually, apart from Windows 10 tracking issue, there are many other things users need to consider, for example:
Is it worth upgrading to Windows 10?
Compatibility Issue with Windows 10.
Definitely, it’s worth doing the upgrade. Firstly, it’s a free upgrade as long as it is made before July 29, 2016. Secondly, it is the latest operating system from Microsoft and it will be supported indefinitely. Thirdly, a lot of amazing features can be experienced.
Well then, what if previous programs are incompatible with Windows 10 after the upgrade? There are 2 choices available: look for an alternative program or upgrade your program if your manufacturer provides such an update.
After Windows 10 has been running fluently on your computer, it’s time to prepare it with 2 necessary programs, including data recovery software and partitioning software. The former can help you recover data lost due to different kinds of factors, such as mistaken deletion, accidental formatting, and virus attack, while the latter is capable of partitioning hard disk reasonably so as to get most from your drive.
