  1. How to remove One Drive from an old laptop


    Hello techiesI had an older Lenovo OS Windows 10 and used One Drive for backup purposes. In Nov 2023 I picked up a new Lenovo OS Windows 11 and the backup process to get the new one backed up was easy. I'd like to wipe the old Windows 10 laptop but it appears both have a mirror image of the files/content. How do I safely "detach" the old laptop from One Drive so when I delete the content, it doesn't wipe the content of my new laptop. Thanks

    :)

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Remove an old work account.

    Hi Eric,

    If the "Lists" app is not installed on your laptop, it is possible that the notification you are receiving is coming from a different source. One possibility is that the notification is coming from the Microsoft Edge browser, which may be trying to access the "Lists" app on the web.

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    > Open Microsoft Edge browser on your laptop.

    > Click on the three dots on the top right-hand side of the screen.

    > Go to Settings and click on "Profiles."

    > Check if your old work account is listed under "Profiles."

    > If it is, click on the three dots next to the account and select "Remove."

    Once you have removed your old work account from the Microsoft Edge browser, you should stop receiving notifications to authenticate with it.

    I hope this solution helps you resolve the issue.

    Best regards,

    John D.
