    Well given op said download it from microsoft then yes it will be riddled with spyware but that's the genuine windows experience® for you…

    The downvoted guy you replied to is right. You can download the (genuine) iso off microsoft and install it without paying M$ anything, it will work fine other than not being able to change wallpaper etc.

    If that small restriction annoys you the MAS (linked elsewhere in thread) is the answer
