Previously i have already asked AI about [this kind of thing] .
So, as not to make unfounded claims i decided to post some practical data for Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 operating systems.

This content is based upon the [information provided] by Dontscythe the member of my Discord channel.

To get rid of the telemetry just loopback these addresses to “localhost”
in your system hosts file, located @

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Don’t forget to reboot the machine after you apply the changes!
