    Every time I restart Windows 10, I get a full screen prompt wanting me to create an online account, with a tiny little button to "remind me in 3 days". This is why I will never fucking do it.

    Too bad Windows 7 has "only" lasted for 11 years. The reason I switched to Windows 10 was just to play a resource-hungry game (FS2020). The level of privacy is such on Windows 10 that even with the browser, webcam or microphone off I have the impression that MS knows what I'm humming or even thinking.

    Every 3 days, as mentioned elsewhere, it will harass you into linking your computer account to an online account and then push OneDrive sync upon you...

    Anyone entrusting their information to Microsoft gets what they deserve.
