Ask Slashdot: Good Technical Guide To Windows 10?

An anonymous reader writes: Back 'in the day' you could easily find books on NT, Windows 2000, or Slackware that went into painstaking detail about every functional aspect of the operating system (think Slackware Unleashed). They covered the interplay between BIOS, boot sector, crash dumps, every command-line option, etc. Past about Win 2000 I fell way behind focusing on finishing my EE degree. Now when faced with a complex issue, I just end up at Google, but would prefer a good comprehensive book on recent Win8/Win10 architectures. Any suggestions? Are these books all but limited to course-prep now?

All you need to know about Windows 10:

You need to know that it's corporate-grade spyware and malware, and that you shouldn't use it at all. Beyond that, look to the documentation for DBAN, which is the way I recommend to correct the mistake of installing it in the first place, to ensure not a single byte of it remains. From there please Google 'linux distributions' and find one that suits your needs.
