The following guides aim to provide some ways to improve privacy and reduce the default telemetry and data stored by disabling some not-so necessary features. Microsoft over time, adds features to the OS which can sometimes rely on cloud-based services. These features will often require certain types such as the [optional data](https://privacy.microsoft.com/data-collection-windows) that is sometimes sent to remote servers for processing.
