just check my bank account. Hoping someone mistakes the key and adds a few million. That would be ok to me.

Q  Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::

Your Privacy is at a far Lower Risk than Facebook where you Posted your photographs for all to see, & your interests & your friends, & the entire world knows. So if someone wants to find about you easier for him to go to Facebook than to try to hack Microsoft Servers

When & if you Advertised on such social Media that -this is me than why be so paranoid about privacy.

No one in this discussion has questioned your right to accept or not, you posted a discussion subject (In fact you asked a question: Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::) on an open forum, which is for the purpose of each poster to express their point of view.

We are only expressing our point of view.

Uh, no, actually I did not ask the question.

I posted my point of view in answer to the original question, the aforementioned : Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::

If you are testing this operating system on a machine on which you do not do the majority of your computing, as suggested by Microsoft, no. You will only be testing things out and trying out a few websites and so on. If you are using it as the OS on your main machine not only are you disregarding what Microsoft says, risking your own data etc., but there is a slight risk to your privacy. Of course, all the data is going to be processed by machines not people as there will be far to much for anything else so I suspect the risk will be tiny.

Q  Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::

YES it is - But same as

A) If you use a Apple Phone - Each time your phone is backed up online on Icloud your Phone Directory your recent calls & your sms are backed up

B) In windows 8.1 also a disk image is online backed up in OneDrive.

In both cases if you lose your phone or laptop you do not have to sweat about lost information, you simply buy a new phone or Laptop use the same account to log on & all your information is back

Depending on your Settings your Documents may not be back, in a laptop if you are using local Drive C: instead of OneDrive

But is it not better to avoid in case of theft to compromise your Privacy rather than lose all your information

IN Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 Laptop if you forget your password unless you change your Password in Login Live or some kind of website, they cannot be unlocked

Apple also requires in all phones from 4 onwards PIN or in 5S onwards your biometric signature.

So Privacy or Security you decide

So is leaving your car unlock, or giving your phone number when buying a new car, so is filling out a warrantee for your car, so is giving you buddy your pin number, so is using google, so is using apple, so is using the garbage, as well as filling out a job application. We live in a world of social media get over it JEEZ1.

google privacy seem similar and its not a bata Humm google privacy statement

So Privacy or Security you decide

• It is not the Operating System you should be worried about. All OS-System entidies supply their customer data to the NSA. Of major concern should be the traffic via the lines of communications, Cross-Ocean-Cables or internet exchange points.
• **DE-CIX Frankfurt**.. is the world’s largest Internet exchange point with more than 3.2 terabits per second peak traffic (see https://www.de-cix.net/about/quick-facts )
• The NSA is grabbing (copying ALL the traffic from those sources. The problem is not the gathering and the storage of the data, it is the collation and analysis of the relevant data (i.e. targeting a certain person or organization).
• The only solution is: stay away from the internet, if you want to hide a certain fact. Write a conventional letter instead, that is much safer :-)
