OneDrive

Does anybody have a good explanation of OneDrive options and where to set them all. I just caught it trying to back up something that I edited off line - because I have a system that does not involve any internet when I'm working on it.

After I removed the USB stick and went back on line, it started stashing a copy that it had made (Excel) when I was off line. I was able to toss it, but their explanations are so vague that I'm never sure. How about a diagram that shows exactly what is what. They throw around terms like backup, sync, and documents -- with different meanings for different situations as far as I can tell. I just want a system to stash files on that I want to be access from different computers - when I want to. Stop doing automatic anything.

Another OneDrive feature. Several times it's emailed me pics from my OneDrive files. I unsubscribed once, but it apparently thought I'd waited long enough and sent me one today. Since I do a lot of pics of various projects, it was one of those. Treasured memories indeed. Please leave me the F alone. I can't wait until they go crazy on AI

i know the install hack to bypass setting up the ms account b stink, on startup, no log in pin or password, no ms account, no one drive, bitlocker turned off. the new box works like it was win 7 or 10.

You can get around that hdwr limitation, I've got 3 laptops and all of them failed the scratch test for M$ Win11 standards. All of them are now currently running Win11 and have been getting security updates as well.

tried a few of the work arounds, didn't have any luck, doing something wrong? strong maybe?? but it got to where i just packed it in, end result i have a new game box, that's used to edit photo's and music,
thou i am dreading what happens when 12 comes out shortly as they are already pushing some items i see on my insiders test machine, like forcing the ms account and new hardware restrictions.

PS

one of my laptops is like yours, the hacks worked, for how much longer, as what i see in the insiders box not much longer, new tpm and secure chip standards
