    Why New Windows 11 setup copying previous windows folders/apps.


    While setting up new HP Laptop windows 11 Pro it's carrying over folders/apps from my previous windows laptop. There doesn't seem to be an option to NOT use folders/apps from previous PC. I like to install folders/apps on the new laptop as I need them. Is there a way to do this. Thanks for the help.

    :)

    Why New Windows 11 setup copying previous windows folders/apps.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
