All you win8 and win7 users that have been staying away from 10 because of privacy issues, well microshaft hasnt forgotten you....
There is now a list of updates available, any and all are being implicated in `updating' your system to have the same ability for M.S. (and others) to pretty much browse through your system at their leisure.
Following are the updates implicated in the `stealth install' of the win10 monitoring abilities to all win 7 and win8 machines

One site with this list and instructions to see if your machine has already had the `spyware hack' from win10 already installed is https://www.hackread.com/microsoft-updates-spy-on-windows7-8-users/
There are already others commenting on this as well, many users are complaining of massive data cost increases on mobile networks, and there are also (to date) unconfirmed rumours that the official security openings are already being targeted by malware/spyware groups
