Summary
Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025. Machines as young as five years old, bought new and running perfectly, were declared obsolete overnight. The only real path forward was upgrading to Windows 11, and with that upgrade came a new End User License Agreement that most users clicked through in under three seconds. What that EULA quietly grants Microsoft is broad, loosely worded access to your system for data collection, telemetry, and behavioral monitoring. And here's the part that should concern every Windows user: Copilot isn't an app you install. It's woven into the operating system at the kernel level. That distinction matters enormously because Microsoft isn't limited to seeing your filenames or folder structure. They can access actual file contents. Renaming a file doesn't protect you. Turning off the visible Copilot interface doesn't remove the access layer underneath it. In an exclusive interview with Claude, you'll hear exactly what the Windows 11 upgrade cycle really means for your privacy, your data, and your reasonable expectation that what's on your computer stays on your computer. The answer, under Windows 11, is that you don't have one. If you're still on Windows 10, you're running unsupported software. If you upgraded, you signed a surveillance agreement. Those are your two options.
