    Getting files from a previous OneDrive


    My old laptop froze up a few weeks ago and I have tried to reactivate it with no luck. But I really only need the OneDrive files that I had with this old laptop. I don't know how to access the old OneDrive files in my new OneDrive with my new laptop. Can anyone help?

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
