I am installing to separate disk drives. I am keeping my Win 7 and 8 configurations.

I don't trust MS with my security and privacy.

It's very suspicious that just a few days after the big "cut-off," MS is intending to release a whole new version of Win 10.

I strongly suspect that the new version -- the so-called anniversary version -- will override the privacy settings and do whatever the hell MS wants.

I am very invested in MS products, now. But, not in the future.
