I just installed Windows 10 on my gaming machine, I set it up on a separate vlan so it doesn't have access to rest of my network, but still don't like the idea of all the data it's sending out to MS. I could block all the MS IPs at the firewall, but surely there must be some other solution too, what do most people do in order to block all of this?

If it's just your gaming PC, what could it send out that concerns you?

I presume you chose all of the more privacy-centric options when setting up your user account on the computer already so telemetry data has been limited, you're not signing in with an MS account and you don't have OneDrive connected.

Yeah I turned all that stuff off and not using MS account. I'm more thinking about whatever I type or say on the mic when doing voice chat. ex: conversations in games with friends and such.
