  1. I want to save to THIS PC, not one drive and not user name


    I finally got it to stop saving to one drive. But, even though I have directed WIN 10 to storage to default to THIS PC, it saves everything to my user name directory .... and then I can never find it without doing a search first.

    How can I stop this? When I forget to change the storage location - each and every time I want to save something - I have to go back and save it again or do an exhaustive search for it.


    Please, help! I have had this issue since my last renewal of Office 365. So regretful! I have more issues. But I will start new threads for those.

    :)

    Query about changing the User Accounts name

    Hi Jerry,

    Perform the steps mentioned below to change the user account name.

    • Sign in to the Your info page on the Microsoft account website.

    • Under your name, select Edit name.
      If there’s no name listed yet, select Add name.
    • Edit or add the name you want, then choose Save.
      Your Microsoft account name will start to appear or change everywhere you use it.

    Please revert if you still cannot change the user account name.

    Thank you.
