How do I turn off personalized search results in Google?

I just found out that since 2009 I think it is, all search results on Google are personalized by default. I want to disable this as I need to get search results as unbiased as possible.

I'm about to buy new computers, can I somehow start out right to avoid being completely tracked by Google?  I mean, if I use one of my computers (I'm going to buy several) for only Google searches and nothing personal (such as logging in to accounts), wouldn't I stay away from Google's tracking then?

If so, what actions would reveal my identity to Google? In other words, what would I be able to do without Google tracking those actions by me?

I change location where I live quite often (stay only a few months on each location), so maybe Tor would work.

What about using own satellite internet (although still too expensive), would that change anything?
No.  You're still assuming that you can hide from Google.  You can't.  You also can't hide from Amazon and Facebook.  They know how to track you.
The only option seems to always use something like Tor and change location often. Or perhaps dynamic IP.
