    Windows Vista file transfer to OneDrive


    I need to retire our PC with OS Vista and am trying to transfer all files to OneDrive. The tutorial I read said to download the OneDrive app but Vista is too old for the app. So instead I went to OneDrive.com, logged into my existing account, upgraded to more storage and now I'm just uploading files and folders into OneDrive. Is that the best way to do this? 1 It's going to take me a while and 2I'm not sure I won't miss something. I would love any advice.Thanks!Arabella

    Windows Vista file transfer to OneDrive

    I need to retire our PC with OS Vista and am trying to transfer all files to OneDrive. The tutorial I read said to download the OneDrive app but Vista is too old for the app. So instead I went to OneDrive.com, logged into my existing account, upgraded to
    more storage and now I'm just uploading files and folders into OneDrive.

    Is that the best way to do this? 1) It's going to take me a while and 2)I'm not sure I won't miss something. I would love any advice.

    Thanks!

    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.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



    Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
