    The settings you choose to sync are also saved in OneDrive (cloud).

    You can choose to sync your theme, passwords, language preferences, Ease of Access, and Other Windows settings settings.

    • Passwords - Windows credential manager, including Wi-Fi profiles
    • Language Preferences - spelling dictionary, system language settings
    • Ease of Access - Narrator, On-screen keyboard, Magnifier
