     I get zero advertising. Having only a local account (as I have) is   
   some work, but not at all "difficult" for users in these groups. If you   
   want it very simple, just use Windows Pro, which can be had for some   
   $20, if that. (My wife's Mini-PC came with Pro.)

     There are ways to keep it on Windows 10, without the 'threat' of 11,   
   so you would get Definition Updates and (ESU) Security Updates. Paul can   
   probably point you to the right 'shutup' tool.
