    and there's lots more tracking such as Cortana which isn't easy to disable

    I have w10 with Classic Shell

    Cortana appeared on the taskbar - I right clicked on it and chose 'unpin from taskbar'

    I wasn't aware that it was 'enabled' as I've never used it.

    Have used the Assistive Tech version but is it definitely limited to only a 32-Bit version? (At least, that's the one that installed for me).

    I need to get a new HDD anyway so can use the image from last Christmas which AFAIK is just a standard install ISO if it was done before the deadline.

    This isn't correct, it loads x64 system if that's what is originally on the machine.
