    Onedrive issues with win7 and win10 on same account


    I seem to have run into a problem. I have a Win7 machine that uses Onedrive to keep Desktop, Documents etc safe on cloud. This is tied to my MS account.

    I added a Win10 machine using same MS account. There appears to be a problem in including Desktop in Onedrive.

    There are some links on Win 7 desktop that would not work on Win10. I will likely use machines for different purposes, so desktops will be different.

    Presumably I could exclude both Desktops from Onedrive, but then it would not be backed up. Possible to rename one Desktop?

    Just wondering what others might have done.

    - - - Updated - - -
    Section below SOLVED. This was caused by a default setting in Onedrive Settings. Unckecked Files on Demand, everything synced and problem went away!

    :)

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Yes. Steps 2.1 through 2.3 are meant to be done in a browser signing in to the primary OneDrive account, after receiving the email from secondary OneDrive account that account sent in step 1.7.
