Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...
Like an idiot normie I bought a laptop with Windows 10 on it and didn't really think twice about it.
I deeply regret it now. Have prawn saved on my damn laptop and Windows 10 is organizing it for me, which is kinda disturbing asf.
I turned off data collection buttons I could to off, and I still am getting weird shit suggestions pop up.
I'm a draw and a write-fag whome just uses Paint.sai and MS Word, and now Windows Ink Workspace popped up out of nowhere, and it's freakin' me out. I feel like I am being watch, observed and can't even enjoy my new gaming laptop now. Wtf.
I did all the main suggestions of going into the privacy settings and turning every damn thing off. I'm not hyper computer-litterate, but I know my way around decently enough.
But, how can I maximize my privacy for Windows 10?

block the 50 or so telemetry urls at the router level and get a vpn if you can afford it.
use a firewall to block close to all .exe files trying to connect outbound.

Sorry, I guess I'm a real bad normie when it comes to comps. How would I go about doing that, I've considered a VPN though. What would you recommend to be the biggest bang for my bucks.

Step one would be stopping using Windows. Get yourself a good UNIX-for-beginner online or print resource, read it, move to some open-source UNIX-based system.
Step two would be adding online privacy on top of that: VPNs, proxies, encryption...
Both steps need studying and take time. Nobody becomes computer savvy in a couple months, you're looking to years of incremental improvements in protecting your privacy, enabled by your continuous study of computer technology.
Good luck!

Will do, and thanks. Is it hard to learn UNIX, guessing that's a operating system?

It is a family of related operating systems, and it is not hard, no. Most people start with a beginner-oriented distribution of GNU/Linux.
