Windows 10 is the safe and most stable operating system. Well, there is no any privacy issue in Windows 10; the privacy agreement doesn't mean Microsoft is secretly stealing the data from your hard disk

However you can try the given option to turn off your location and tracking in Windows 10. Launch the Settings app > go to Privacy > Location > click Change and, on the screen that appears, move the slider from On to Off.

Doing this will turns off all location tracking for every user on the PC. If you click the Change button, you can turn off location tracking for every user on the Windows 10 device

You can also disable the unnecessary services, programs to free up the memory space, RAM and make your Windows 10 system perform better.

I don't think this is the best solution in this situation, there are alternatives
