Well, I actually got Windows 10. Well fortunately, I was able to play the upcoming exciting game, "Forza Motorsport 6 Apex" very soon and that my projects were not harmed. The only problem is spying. Well, did it just subvert my Windows 7?

come on, i use windows 10, spying is just a myth, why would Microsoft would ever be interested in your data...
if it is outer agency spywares, get a new antivirus because windows 10 is much more safer than windows 7 and in my opinion much better as well. there are many other threads on this forum where we have discussed windows 10 and why it is safe.
even if you think Microsoft is spying you should not be afraid unless you have done something wrong and about online money stealing they are a big enough company to avoid that...

Interestingly enough, spying is true indeed... Microsoft put it into the private settings and in it's privacy policy...
That's why when you go to privacy settings on Windows 10, you will see that ALL of the settings are turned on... Watch the video and you will find out how to disable them...
And I had the great opportunity to see a Windows 10 OS on one of my school PC's... I took a look and guess what? Same settings as in the video, but all of them turned on...
Well, that's the way most of the things work nowadays... Microsoft may stay behind the statement that they are collecting the data to improve their services, but the way they hide the settings and almost don't give you any choice, is terrible... They have to ask you something like "Do you want to send your personal data to Microsoft to help us improve our services?" And not by a little 8pt text on the bottom right corner of the screen, but in front of you... But they know that almost everybody respects his privacy... And that's why they hide it, so the dumb people just click on "Use express settings" and they don't even know what's going on...
NO OFFENCE to gamedeveloper... We just have ongoing discussion about Windows 10 and it's "privacy" policy... It's nothing against you or your experience...
And also, I like Windows 10... Pretty much... Only this privacy thing is stopping me...

Your post drived me to search more information...
I googled "windows 10 spying" and the first result said "Windows 10 is spying on everything you do"... And the next result said "No, Microsoft is not spying on you with Windows 10"... Pretty interesting controversy between the two results... And the results are literally like: Spying, Not spying, Spying, Not spying...
Yes... I saw that Microsoft officially posted that Windows 10 isn't spying, but there are still a lot of videos demonstrating how settings are changing during windows updates without even notifying you, how registry files for privacy keep values that aren't visible in the privacy settings and other wierd stuff...
I know that I may be a little bit paranoid about Windows 10's privacy, but I am still not convinced to install 10...
And I know that at certain point I will have no choice, but installing Windows 10... I will currently just stay with my win7...
Please, @gamedeveloper0 , do not take anything I say here as an offending content directly to you... We're just discussing Windows 10 and it's privacy... I am not saying that you're wrong, I am not saying that I am right... Everything I say is only about Windows 10 and Microsoft's policy...
