That's why I always have partition backups prior to do any clean installation. And my personal documents are stored on a different partition too.
when you do the install and it give you the choice to let them do the setting or customize i did customize and well i read things slowly as i ended up turning off everything one by one then in the privacy setting of windows 10 itself I pretty much turned everything off as well. I put some link to some site you may want to check out. some of it is probably the same reducny but its worth looking at if you want that stuff. even if you think cortana is cool i turned it off. how do you think it learns about you its saves and sends everything use search for to a server back at Microsoft no thanks. google already does that enough and i have a fake made up google account and i have so much ad and tracking blocking on my firefox.

Hi Jennifer and welcome to the forums..
Sorry to hear that you're having issues with 10.. and I hope this might help a bit.. but try to be patient with this answer. Some members here have found that with this issues one solution is to perform a clean instillation of the OS(10). Here is a great tutorial by Shawn(@Brink) Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums
Before you do anything make sure that you back up your personal data on something.. DVD,CD,, USB,.,, a separate partition on your lappy. And here is how to make a separate partition: How to partition a hard drive | PCWorld
By creating a new partition for your personal data it keeps you from losing the data if you have to reinstall the OS.
