OneDrive Setup

After signing in to your new PC you’ll need to connect your OneDrive account to gain access to your synced files from your old device.

Once you login you may be prompted to enter your email to sign in to OneDrive to start the setup. If you are not prompted then navigate to the search box on the taskbar and enter OneDrive and select it from the list.
OneDrive setup will start, then enter your email address for the account used to sync files on your other device. Follow the remaining steps on the screen to complete the setup but lookout for two important screens:

The first step to look out for is the default folder location. If you’d like to change the folder select “Change location.” It’s best to select the best option now, as changing folders later may lead to issues with syncing. This screen may not show up if you’ve already synced on your previous device, in which case files will be saved to the same place as your original device.

The next screen to look out for is All your files, ready and on-demand. This screen shows how files are marked to indicate if they are available online-only, locally available, or always available. Files on demand saves storage space by only downloading files when you need them but you can change how files are stored by right clicking the file or folder and selecting “Always keep on this device” or “Free up space.”

3. You should now be all set, and you should be able to see and manage your files in File Explorer under your OneDrive folder.
