$Windows
Here is some great information on how to delete the $WINDOWS.~BT folder.
It looks like when your upgrading to Windows 10 this hidden folder is created and it's where the root files of Windows 10 are stored. After the upgrade, the folder still remains there just taking space.
This folder is just there just in case you decide to rollback to an old version of Windows. But in the long run, the folder just takes up a lot of space.
If you want the best performance for your Windows OS, the more space you have the better.
Here is more information on how to remove the OS upgrade folder.

Ancestry DNA info
Here is some great information on Ancestry DNA processing for users. In my opinion, it looks like the process is going to take a while before it really can give you the results you are looking for. For many users, your just going to probably get false positive results until they can genetically profile everyone in the entire world. And then there are the privacy concerns. On how they use your data, what they give to authorities by law and other ways the company makes money. Make you wonder if the information your getting is accurate or is this just another way of big brother gathering information from everyone.
