Seriously. I need to know. Sometimes you can't avoid he shit that is Win10 (especially if he computer isn't technically yours). I might as well try to limit the damage.

Never use it for anything even remotely private or personal. Follow the owners security guidelines to the letter. Leave all customization to the IT department of the owner. Leave all maintenance to the owner, unless you are required to do other wise. Follow the owners maintenance instructions to the letter, if you are. Forget about the machine when you are not absolutely required to interact with it.
There. Fixed it.

Within the router, block outbound Microsoft stuff. Within the OS, use Autoruns.exe to disable anything that you don't want. Within the user, make a second guess about your life decisions if you end up using Windows 10.
Hiding from the problem without making any attempt to solve it.

The problem is having windows malware installed in the first place. You solve it by uninstalling it. I don't see what you're getting at.
Jose Clark
C'mon, you're smarter than that. Only the parts that phone home are the malware, not the whole OS.

Use a liveCD with external storage.

There is exactly one way to use win10 (and all googleware) while preserving control and ownership of your data: Never give it network access.
With proprietary software you can never know that a certain part contains nothing malicious.

Windows 10 LTSB apparantly doesn't have all the spyware but i doubt those claims
Connor Long
Ok, not many useful answers.
I have 3 laptops and PC in my house, all have Win7.
So instead of telling me what I already know (that Win10 is shit), focus on answering the question.
Is here a list, a readme or something that lists steps to neuter Win10 sayware functions?
Aaron Lopez
Fuck off.

Step 1. Learn how to router Step 2. Get the Education version so you can get all the GPOs Step 3. Lock it down with policies & settings Step 4. Lock it down via router (you don't need to use Bing do you?)
Even then it's a pain. I keep a Win10 machine for gayman and hyper-v because of my job, but my workhorse is my thinkpad with Fedora.
Don't get discouraged. Since neetbux aren't enough to buy old tech I have to work and working means touching Windows. Pretty sure most of tech is in the same sort of tragic boat.
Nicholas Cook
Oh yeah, if the computer isn't yours then don't even bother. Just use it for business and keep it off when not using it. Save 50 bucks and get something, anything else.
Young pajeet mystery meat, fuck off and get out. Stop advertising m1cr0$cam here since they are just a bunch of kikes.

What about a reusable webcam sticker, a white noise generator, and not doing anything on it but work?

If you must use Windows 10, use Windows 10 LTSB 2016 because it gets rid of cortana, the store and some other shit.
Charles Brown
Windows is the problem. It's very model divides and subjugates the users.
Jackson Howard
implying there aren't backdoors and exploits
Cooper Cooper
Pretty much. At work all computers are win10. And I had a lot of trouble because forced windows upgrades on some of our users.
Angel Torres
Part of the reason for it is that Win7 can't make use of the new WME disk. The new laptop I'm getting is a beast, but the tech guy I'm getting it from really knows his stuff and he has special tools for configuring Win10, so he'll neuter most of it's spyware capabilities (and turn off updates).
Well, I can always format and install Win7 myself if this doesn't work.
