Another Laptop

I know have access to 4 laptops that can run Windows 7 for my classes.

I think it is enough.  If this is successful, I will go on the market for a couple of more.

Kind of disappointed in the video card though, but this is not a gaming laptop, this is for class, so I should be satisfied.

During my the install I read about Windows Telemetry and am kind of disappointed Microsoft is tracking us so.  Luckily several people have come up with ways to remove it

Here is a link to one I found useful

And there is an interesting way to remove it

And some other steps that need to be taken

sc stop DiagTrack
sc stop dmwappushservice
sc delete DiagTrack
sc delete dmwappushservice
echo "" > C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl

Finally clear some stuff in the Task Scheduler (sched), but these final steps I am not sure.

  • Everything under “Application Experience”
  • Everything under “Autochk”
  • Everything under “Customer Experience Improvement Program”
  • Under “Disk Diagnostic” delete only the “Microsoft-WindowsdiskDiagnosticDataCollector”
  • Under “Maintenance” “WinSAT” “Media Center” and click the “status” column, then select all non-disabled entries and disable them.

Just doing pushups and situps
