Yeah, i disabled basically all telemetry on windows. I also will never upgrade to 11. It sucks donkey balls. Also I haven't noticed any change in edge being gone. Maybe I just got lucky.
Forgot to say, I got my keys from a system builder who had a shit ton of them but had to get them off the shelves because windows 11 was around the corner. So they are all legally obtained.
What method did you use to shut off telemetry? When I did do on my home computer, the calculator app stopped working. Along with a few more apps I don't use (phone, i think, people, the Xbox ones, etc)
I have several windows 10 pro keys from laptops I put Linux on. Maybe some day, I'll use the keys. Unlikely, though.
I used the windows debloater to remove most telemetry and then shut off services that were left in the task manager until something broke completely. It was a bit of a process but it worked. I use my PC for 3d modeling and gaming. Never used half the integrated apps because I have no need or already have better ones or actually a physical calculator. In general with my PCs I just delete anything that I will never use. Like office for example.
