.But the Truth about Windows 10 is that there's a lot of process that retrieve your personal data to "enhance the experience on the Windows OS". So how to block that ?

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc . You will find a file named hosts . Open the file with Notepad (You must execute Notepad as an administrator) and add this following lines:

When it's done, register and reboot your computer ! I hope this post is useful, and sorry if I make some English mistakes !
