Windows 10: Official OneDrive "restore" procedure for a new PC

Hi,


I got a new PC install. All my vital files from the old box are uploaded in OneDrive. I am now looking for the official Microsoft procedure how to get those files down to the new PC without OneDrive messing up my stuff in the cloud. BTW - I have this "Backup my importan files to OneDrive" option enabled on the old box.


e.g. I am worried that when enabling OneDrive on the new box and signing in to OneDrive, that OneDrive either tries to sync my new empty folders onto the cloud (deletes all the stuff in cloud) or syncs some new system files into the cloud that in turn breks again some file structures in my cloud account.


The OneDrive Help does propagate to use OneDrive as a backup media, but seems to totally neglect the restore process ... at least I was unable to find any sound step by step description for my restore scenario. And I won't go for this "just set it up again and all will be well" - hey that is my data, right? :-D


thx,

Paul

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.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
