This is all configurable within Windows. Home customers seem to forget very easily that Microsoft sell Windows to many enterprises and governments across the world and wouldn't be stupid enough to risk losing their business by not allowing these features to be turned off.

That's how it should be but .......... many have seen the traffic continue after setting everything to "off" within the privacy settings.

It has also been known for these settings to be turned back to allow after Windows 10 major updates have installed.

The data collection has been added to Win7 and Win8, there are no controls offered to users included.

I had Win10 running, even after making it "shutup" I found @ 850KB a day being sent back to MS via a new telemetry service, if you have several devices in the house running Windows the extra bandwidth use will be noticeable.
