  1. OneDrive & New Computer


    There are a million posts stating you can move files from one computer to another with OneDrive. This is a DIFFERENT question, please make sure you understand it before answering. Thanks!!!


    I am getting a new laptop at work and they will be erasing the hard disk on the old laptop. I believe, but am not sure, that my OneDrive files are stored on the old laptop & sync with the cloud. How do I ensure the files are moved to the new laptop and are not erased when they wipe the old laptop's memory clean? Please keep in mind I am not the one wiping the old laptop clean so if there are any steps that need to be done on it, I need to do them before mailing that laptop to headquarters, so the answer can't say "When you wipe the old memory, be sure to check this certain box halfway thru the procedure".


    Thank you!!

    :)

  2. 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.
