There IS a lot of privacy/add tracking and P2P stuff in there to be aware of... I'm SURE all will be hearing more about it over the months ahead.

You can start here:

Edge is the default browser, but you can change that in the Settings --> Default Programs. I notice other browsers don't seem to prompt you if it is not the default. You must be pro-active. Edge is pretty fast and VERY clean ... too clean. It needs some work.

There is something that is on by default and should be turned off as soon as you upgrade or people can use your Wi-Fi that are part of your friends/contacts:

Step 1: Go to settings and select "Network & Internet"



Step 2: Select "Manage Wi-Fi settings"



Step 3: Untick all listed in the "For networks I select, share them with my"



Step 4: Then turn off the "Connect to networks shared by my contacts"



Then it should protect you from allowing your contacts from being able to use your Wi-Fi with out the need to put in passwords or knowing the Wi-Fi SSID. It is the only thing that I found that should be off by default, but is not. I hope that helps people out.
Cheers,

Visual studio issue sorted, it installed a newer version of System.Mvc.Web so all references to that were broken and nothing would compile.

I may have chosen manual setup (chose what to keep) so may have gotten different options

I'd strongly recommend against holding your breath on that one, HuwR.

I really appreciate these tips and precautions you guys are sharing!

If there are more concerns I hope they will be shared, too.

Some of the handier (in my opinion) changes include the instant virtual desktops and a plethora of new keyboard shortcuts.
