Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

Thank you for the quick response, Micah.

My documents are already being saved to 'This PC only'.

The Documents folder in the libraries is correct (local drive).

The Documents folder in the quick access area is correct (local drive).

The only thing that is incorrect is the documents folder under 'This PC'?

Also is 'winhelponline.com' affiliated with Microsoft?

Thanks again

 

My old ssd is not working. Can I install windows 11 on my new SSD without the old one?

Hi Pro,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

Yes, you can install Windows 11 on the new SSD without using the old one. Before any procedure, disconnect the old SSD to avoid issues during the installation.

Download the Media Creation Tool to create the USB installation drive to install Windows 11 on the new SSD.
