You can use Files On-Demand to free up space or to make sure files or folders are always available on your device, even when you're offline. The OneDrive app built in to Windows 10 synchronizes your files between OneDrive and your computer, so they're backed up, protected, and available on any device. Whether you save by default to your computer or to OneDrive, all your files are available on your PC. You can change this default save location any time.
If you clicked the “Only save files to this PC” option, you set up your PC as the default save location. (Before July 2019, the screen said, "Protect your files with OneDrive.") If you clicked Next, you set up OneDrive as your default save location. If you are switching computers then you want to take all the files and folders from the old computer to the new one to avoid any data. Click this to start the clean-up utility, which you'll use to flash your computer back to factory defaults.While you can always choose where to save files that you create, your computer settings include default save locations for your Desktop, Documents, and Pictures files.ĭuring Windows 10 setup, you should have seen a “Back up your files with OneDrive” screen telling you about the benefits of saving your files to OneDrive. In the results that appear, you’ll see an option called ‘Remove everything and reinstall Windows’. After this open up file explorer and go to the quick. Go to the Start Screen and type ‘Remove’ to bring up the search box. If windows 10: open settings, go to system, then on the list should be storage, scroll down on the page and under the More storage settings section there is one that says to 'change where new content is stored' click on that and change things as you like.

This is because the upgrade doesn't refresh the files that Windows needs to restore factory default settings - annoying, huh? Fortunately, Microsoft has made it fairly straightforward to download and create your own Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 installation discs, so that you can get round this step. While it's generally a very easy thing to do, the utility can run into problems if you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
With Windows 8 things are a lot easier and the ability to wipe your computer back to factory settings, or simply refresh the install leaving your files alone, are built directly into the operating system.
With Windows 7 and before, doing this would require a fresh install or using the manufacturer-provided disc image, which is a cumbersome and long-winded process. There are plenty of good reasons to wipe your computer and put it back to its factory default settings, including selling it and protecting your private information and simply clearing out the clutter.
