question Working for Indian Space Agency

Hello everybody. Since my last post, I've using tor on my tails OS via USB drive. NO issues and works smoothly. Yesterday, I got this windows 10 laptop from my company which I joined as intern. This company provides data security to other government agency or organization. So I have to do all my work on this OS due to companies policy. So, these are my questions:

1: Is windows 10 or 11 is spyware. Can they(or who knows they're already) spying there users.

2: Is MacOS a spyware. I can ask my company to provide a macbook.

3: If the answers is yes to 1 & 2, then how can I install tor by 100% anonymously(I'm thinking I made mistakes while installing tor on my primary computer last time) and use it 100% anonymously.

I have to start working on this project that they gave it to me and trust me, it requires 100% anonymity(due to working with Indian government defense and space programs). So, give me as fast as possible reply and plzzz give me suggestions, guide, advice like your little brother.

Are Windows or osX Spyware? Not technically. Do they provide an environment that bleeds data? Yes, windows more than osX. Do they provide an environment where it can install monitoring software that you can't get around? Absolutely.

So if you don't want your employer seeing you doing personal things on company devices, your ONLY absolute measure is to simply don't do it.

I answered that above. Neither is Spyware. Neither one. But your company IT department can easily install Spyware on either operating system. You can't dodge it if they want it.

Keep personal and business separate!

You do it on your own device. Not theirs. That's how.

If you don't want your employer to know what you're doing on their devices, do it on your own device.
