It looks the same as my win 7 did.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Great. That would only leave the minor issues of Mickeysoft feeling entitled to install spyware whenever they feel like it and generally feeling right at home, using my resources as they wish and telling me to buzz off when they have other plans with my computer. And I can't even switch off all these goodies. 
What would you do if the manufacturer of your car behaved like that? Or the constructor of your house? In Texas I would prepare for their arrival (*)
(*) I would only load rocksalt, because letting them scream only once is just silly.

Do you work for Mickeysoft or have they begun brainwashing people?
Since when has it become acceptable in any world (as far as I am informed we still have only one, the rest is just smoke and mirrors) to behave like that?

That may be the reason why I never was interested in anything Apple made after the Apple II.
How they behave? Just like Apple. They Gather information as they please, use my resources as they please (the update to Win10 would have cost me the bandwith for an entire month) and they tell me to buzz off when they feel like it. And what am I supposed to do when my notebook is busy updating for a few hours and I need it for an appointment?
Perhaps Mickeysoft wants to be just like Apple, but they will see that they get the kind of customers they deserve for that.

Are they mining bitcoins on your machine? Or processing camera feeds for the NSA?

Buy a faster notebook? 
I hadn't played Angry Birds on my tablet for a while and once when I opened it I could not play it until I updated it. How dare they.

Joke all you want, I find their behavior intrusive and I will deal with the trespassers.

That's fine. I have no problem with you doing that. But it would be nice if you could back it up and explain why.

Texas style as you said earlier? So, you're going to shoot your computer with a shotgun then?

Look, I have no idea what they try to grab from my computer. it does not really matter, because the simple fact that they don#t care to ask for permission anymore tells me that this may be for their good, but certainly not for mine and that this will only get worse once the obstacles are finally out of their way.
Using my bandwidth and the computer itself whenever and as long as they please already is enough and again I have no way to stop this. This also will not get any better.

What's so shocking about that. I know the usual blah blah, but I have better things to do than to give them the keys to the house and just help themselves, no matter what they come up with next. And I also don't want to find out what kind of crap they try to leave behind next.
No, I really don't care what they want. They are not going to get it. They think we can't live without them and say 'Take it or leave it'. Ok, I will leave it then.

Curious if you use Android. I found it far easier to turn off info-gathering stuff in Windows 10 than Android (and still haven't figured out how to turn off Hangouts without Android popping up warnings all the time.)

No, I don't. I don't have a smartphone, nor do I ever want one.

You really should avoid feeding that wu-mao troll, C.
You'll only get replies with no substance, designed to annoy you.
Let him post whatever he wants about how ms is allowed to do what they like with your property. We're mostly highly intelligent people, in here, so no-one listens to him.
He'll just try to p1ss you off, and then call you a troll for disagreeing with his empty statements.

Thanks. I wish he would have succeeded. Something to really get angry about would be a really welcome distraction at the moment.

Maybe, but I still won't divulge what I was doing with your sister, last week.

Let me guess: You want to turn her to the dark side if I keep refusing, right? Ok. Good luck with that.

I moved to 8 and then 10 after my Windows 7 got really flaky--as in losing data flaky. I actually prefer 8.1, but have found 10 much more stable than 7.
Two of my [adult] sons are still on Windows 7 and keeping their laptops running well is becoming a chore. I've had mixed experiences upgrading laptops and neither wants to take that gamble (both need new laptops, but I'm not paying for them.)

Losing data due to the OS? As opposed to flaky RAM or HD...

The symptoms were similar to a bad SATA controller, but I've had no problems with Windows 10 and so was left scratching my head.
One possibility is that it was a combination of SATA controller, driver and rev of the HD firmware. (There was such an issue several years back with a line of Seagate SATA drives and an AMD chipset, though the symptoms were slightly different.)

Better than Android updates which don't warn you of anything except that they want more permissions.

That depends on the version of android. Nowadays, you get a lot more control -- and android's not as security-critical a system as your PC OS, anyway (I mean, I don't even take selfies for people to steal).
I'm not saying that it's perfect, but at least it's going in the right direction, not the completely opposite one.
And if you install this[^], I think you'll be pleasantly surprised (I prefer it to similar apps that require root) (The first thing I denied was the Google app).
