Is there any way to COMPLETELY prevent Windows 10 from sending any data to Microsoft? According to what I've read, while it's possible to mitigate it changing Group Policy, registry values, etc. there is no way to completely eliminate the possibility. Is this true?

update to Win10 Enterprise and here the GPOs apply to stop all telemetry.

As Windows seems to keep re-enabling these services (see answer) I actually still think this is a great question. Great that there is another / duplicate question, but this one apparently ranks higher in Google (because I found this one and not the other one).

Yes, you have to manually disable Telemetry.
From WinAero:
1) Open Registry Editor. (regedit)
2) Go to the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsDataCollection
3) There you need to create a new a 32-bit DWORD value named AllowTelemetry and set it to 0.
4) Now, you need to disable a couple of Windows services. Right click the File Explorer item in Windows 10 Start menu and pick Manage from its context menu. Go to Services and Applications -> Services in the left pane. In the services list, disable the following services
Diagnostics Tracking Service
dmwappushsvc
Update: Windows 10 version 1511 changed the Diagnostics Tracking Service to
Connected User Experiences and Telemetry
dmwappushsvc
5) Double click the mentioned services and pick "Disabled" for the startup type
Alternatively, you can download Windows 10 Ultimate tweaker, from Thewindowsclub and in "Security and privacy settings" disable all from Microsoft.
EDIT: if you believe that these services do not really disabling, you can always delete them. Although I'm not sure that the system does not become unstable.
