I admit that I have been recently purifying the shit out of eXtern OS Beta 1 as the data collection bullshit is equal to or worse than the one in Windows 10 but hope is not lost if you want privacy back. There are already ways to remove that bullshit while retaining the good parts. For the upcoming Spring Creators Update of Windows 10, you get more options than before in the Privacy section of Settings app as well as the updated Privacy Dashboard for your Microsoft account. Also, you're able to remove the data collected by Microsoft which is a good obedience.
The Spring Creators Update should include security fixes to the vulnerabilities the tech news already talked about tons of times ever since the Fall Creators Update which disabled the SMB1 component by default. It was a serious case of cyber-security breach that took place last year and we should remain vigilant on future cyber-security threats.
