  3. New computer. From Windows XP to 10. I hate having to learn new stuff. When I learn new stuff it pushes old stuff out of my brain.

      Switch off as much telemetry as you can, there are guides on the internet for doing so. I won't use it unless Microsoft give us the ability to turn the lot off completely and verifiably, and also to completely stop automatic updates.

      Windows 10 follows the concept of software as a service, so you need some updates. Setting your connection as "metered" will reduce updates to the bare minimum.
