    How to change default OS location from OneDrive to PC?


    Do I need to reinstall the entire OS in order to change the default location?I need to make the PC the default location, because at this time it's on OneDrive. I don't remember seeing an option to make the local hard drive the default location of the OS.

    :)

    Not able to change default save location to OneDrive


    I have a clean install of windows 10 Pro (Build 10240) 64bit.
    Before clean install, my default save location was set to OneDrive. That's what I want.
    After clean install, USB created from Media Creation Tool, I cannot change default save location from PC to OneDrive
    I want the default set to OneDrive but the option is not available in Settings, System, Storage. Only option available is This PC.

    Please help...Thanks

    Doug

    To change the default location of the folders, please follow these steps:

    • Click Start, type This PC and press
      Enter      .
    • Right-click the Desktop folder and select Properties.
    • Go to Location tab and click Move.

    How to change default OS location from OneDrive to PC?

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings

    I am trying to save my files to OneDrive as a default. It has always worked as my default. For some reason, the default save location is now Recent. Something caused it to change. All default locations settings in Word Options, my computer and OneDrive settings are set to save to OneDrive. It appears my computer does not recognize these default settings.

    Do you have any suggestions how I can have my default locations for files change back to OneDrive?

    I use Windows 10. My computer is Dell XPS 8910.

    See Screenshots. Screenshot with Recent highlighted shows my current default location as Recent. OneDrive should be highlighted.

    Also, I reinstalled Microsoft Office.

    Jerry
