Using Telemetry Built Into Windows 10, Microsoft Sought To Improve The Features And Overall Experience Of The Operating System Through Automated Uploads Of Data. This Capability Is Provided Using The Diagnostic Tracking Service And Is Complete Opt-in.

Microsoft Delivered Some Optional Updates To Windows 7 And Windows 8 Users (KB3075249, KB3080149 And KB3068708) That Would Provide The Same Telemetry Data.
