    Dear Community,Of course Microsoft is a company of *Something of your choice*, they had to complicate the simple. I want to change my PIN or at least remove it and put a password on my Laptop. I am unable to do both. Of course I go to settings > Sign in options > Windows Hello PIN .... but I am getting this message: Sorry this option isn't working for your organization's resources. Tap here to fix it bla bla bla, nothing is fixed.This is my personal Laptop, no organization involved. In addition, it already has a PIN I JUST WANT TO CHANGE IT or REMOVE IT.

    :)

    OneDrive - Another over complicated product from Microsoft?

    I recreated what I think you wanted on a virtual machine, in a very straightforward way. Here are my steps.

    Step 1: Launch OneDrive for the first time. Click on the option at bottom to change the default location for my OneDrive to a second hard drive on my system. (if you already have oneDrive setup, go to settings and choose Unlink account to get back to this point).

    Step #2. Create a OneDrive folder on my E:\ drive, and select it.
