    the data will no longer be saved locally

    You no longer need to know your location history, only Microsoft and its very close friends will have that data?

      After all, it’s not your location history. It’s Microsoft’s history of where you’ve been. You never monetised it anyway.

            In 10 it was possible to turn it all off and leave it off. In 11 it’s almost impossible to do so.

    The Amount of Ads you see won’t change, just their relevance to you.
