    One Drive keeps recreating itself


    On windows 11 I uninstalled OneDrive and moved my pictures and documents from user>onedrive>docs TO user>docs, but it seems like my programs are confused now and dont recognize the documents or pictures folders. it keeps trying to go back to the onedrive destination for these. this isn't an issue with the program itself, because I have selected the correct filepath for this.One program that should be creating files in User>documents, which was previously using user>onedrive>docs, will only recreate the file in my base C: drive.This is incredibly annoying that onedrive works i

  2. Non-destructively Moving / recreating EFI partition

    Hello - this is similar to Moving / recreating EFI partition but it was suggested I post the specifics of my question so that the responses can be relevant and clear. I have a few internal SSDs, 2 are relevant. - my system drive is a 1TB drive that I upgraded some time ago and it turns out that I did it wrong - the EFI partition resides on the old 250gb SSD which I repurposed as a storage drive. So the system won't boot without that 250GB drive present, and I'm wanting to upsize that with a new drive. - So I need to create an EFI partition on my existing 1TB drive without destroying anything. The instructions re fairly clear in the post mentioned above, but I want to be absolutely sure what I'm doing as I'd really like to avoid restoring from backup (I do have an image created by Macrium reflect and a Backblaze backup so I'm safe) I get to the step where I'm listing partition in order to select the Windows partition (4th/5th steps in Kyhi's post) and I get the following Size Offset Partition 1 Reserved 16MB 1024KB Partition 2 Primary 930GB 17MB Partition 3 Recovery 612MB 930GB And this confuses me because I assume I'm selecting Partition 2 here but in the next step we're shrinking that partition to 100MB, and this is most likely because I don't understand fully how Windows partitioning works but I just wanted to be sure at this stage that this is the correct thing to do ("select partition 2" then "shrink desired=100") If anyone can help here to clarify / allay my fears I would be grateful! Thanks in advance, David

    Non-destructively Moving / recreating EFI partition

    hello - I'm getting to the last step here and when I do the command bcdboot E:\windows /s S: it just returns a list of diskpart commands. E is the 930GB NTFS volume that's the main partition on the 1TB drive. The BOOT partition doesn't have a letter assigned to it. The new EFI 100MB partiton is volume 12 / letter S. I can't see how to post a pic on my phone here but will try on my laptop so you can see the full volume list thanks! - - - Updated - - -
