If you're concerned (or just interested) in what Windows 10 is reporting back then check this out. A simple program that shows all the settings in one go.
This link is not the program itself, just a description of it.

Re: Windows 10 privacy settings
The program was very revealing - thanks for the link.
Despite having been quite fervent about protecting my privacy, there were a lot of things that I was not aware of, and even some things where updates seem to have undone my changes.

It can take surprisingly little combinations of such measures to collectively deduce uniqueness.
Approximate geographic location, for me, is usually my ISP who is far from Essex.
