The one caveat I'd pass on is this: Win10 by default sends all kinds of tracking info back to Microsoft. When you first set it up, though, you can turn off the permissions for this intrusion. I did.
For what its worth, the "tracking information" supposedly does not contain personally identifiable information, just telemetry intended to help Microsoft improve the system (e.g. performance, memory usage, information about crashes, etc.).
