So you'd rather trust an agency that has been known to do this in the past but continues to deny it over a company that fully admits to what they're doing. Also, encryption is encryption, whether it's on Windows or Mac. If you have encrypted data on a Windows machine, Microsoft will be just as unable to decrypt it as Apple would be able to decrypt the data on a Mac device.

Either way, for anyone that's interested, here's an article on how to disable Windows 10 telemetry. A lot of helpful technical information is in the comments, too.

Well, since you obviously didn't bother to read, or address, my arguments, and did not offer anything sensible (not to mention make factually wrong statements), I don't think it makes much sense to continue this conversation.

Yeah I'm going to Mac .... currently I've got an iMac and a windows laptop but the laptop is dying (the wireless adapter keeps having to be reset) so I'm going to get a Macbook next. Not just because of this issue, but partly.

(I originally got the Imac because I wanted to run Vellum)

If you keep having to reset your internet connection, have you tried resetting your modem? I traded routers out only to find out all I needed to do was reset the modem. It goes for months and then I need to reset the modem again. Some issue with Comcast, gawd knows what, but that was the problem, not my computer or the router.
