Windows 10 spyware removal and speed-up

So we've had Windows 10 out for a few weeks now, and if you're a PC Gamer like me, you know that the benefits of the upgrade to reduce overhead and API load for our graphics cards is worth it even before mentioning the Direct x12.

The drawback is how Microsoft  is following the footsteps of Facebook in gathering our private information so they could sell it to the highest bidder for targeted advertising or the NSA.

I mean I understand the old saying that if you aren't paying for the Product you "Are" the product. In response I would say Windows 8 sucked, and I was owed Windows 10 as reparation as much as if not more so than how Blizzard Entertainment is paying me back for my money and time lost in World of Warcraft up to the End of Wrath of the Lich King(when I left), with Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, but I digress.

I'm not too smart to know all the ins and outs without following a guide so I've found one on YouTube to Follow. The purpose of this blog is to break down what Crimson Rayne and other vloggers have done. He was rather fast at a couple of intervals and did not explain too clearly except for his written article for about 1 or 2 things he did so I'll go over them by paraphrasing to our needs so we can be clear on how all the steps are done.

We won't have to worry about the whole local account thing for company computers that we'll eventually use with Windows 10 because we have control over our server Accounts. However if this is for your personnel at home computer I would change that login to a local account with this guide by following this article , or the following video.

Don't worry about what this guy says at the end about needing to log into your Microsoft account in order to use your e-mail or other features, that was pretty much a given.

 6:32 he went on to mention using RegEditor to turn off the Telemetry without actually showing how to get into RegEdit.

Start+R -> Regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> MICROSOFT -> WINDOWS -> CURRENT VERSION -> POLICIES -> DATACOLLECTION. Double click on AllowTelemetry and change the value from “1” to a “0”.

you can then continue to follow Mr. Crimson's instructions on the Command prompt that I've copied below.

A quick note, at 1:40 when he went into Advance options to select the maximum memory, you can find that number by clicking Start--> Documents --> Right clicking on my computer and select properties.  The number of usable ram will be in brackets next to the amount of ram you have on your device, so you can go ahead and type that usable amount in.
