When I right click on my One Drive, I do not get anything that says "Manage Storage."

What do you see when you right-click it? You need to right-click the little cloud thing in the taskbar (you'll probably have to click the up-arrow or caret thing to show it). Were you maybe right clicking on the tile in the start menu instead?

I see all info about different allocation from 365 to photo to basic. Good to know. Thanks.

I did the upgrade to 10240 from Windows 8.1 Pro using an ISO, and it went very smoothly, all activated and whatnot. As we get near the end, I wanted to be sure to have the Preview upgraded from a properly licensed retail Windows 8.1 installation. I had done so may upgrades and clean installs, I couldn't really remember how I got to my 10166 installation

I just tried the upgrade from the ISO and it quit complaining that it could not update the reservation partition. So I cancelled the Windows 10 reservation, but it came back with the result. Guess I will just wait it out now until July 29th.

Right-click the little cloud icon in the notification area and select 'manage storage' and you'll find out everything you need to know about your OneDrive storage.

Thanks for that, sgage! Good to know. Very handy indeed. :)

Haven't been in that account for awhile to see the updated changes. Having used 8 and having bought a Lumia last year I got 30GBs free. OneDrive is a very useful service.

There package pricing seems to be reasonable, although I don't know what others charge. The Office 365 subscription plus 1TB looks to be a real good deal. I have 2013Pro, though.

This is new to me in the OneDrive account. A terrible mess with dual booting 8.1/10TP with reinstalls, build upgrades, etc. Besides the phone I don't know which is which anymore. Deleted a few that I know don't belong on the list. I need to tend to this immediately.

Going over to 8.1 I see that OneDrive menu is a little different.

At last!!! Yeeeeesssss!!! :) :) :) :) :)
I think I've learned something from this experience! I am not sure how correct this is, but you have to use the OS for at least 24 hours to get upgraded. So if you'll just install the TP and then go and use your Windows 7 or any other OS you use in a Dual boot setup, it might not upgrade. Just my 2c, I might be wrong.:)

Pleased that you have finally succeeded.
I agree with your dual boot conclusion, I found it messed up the MBR on both W8.1 and W10 on each Upgrade even though they were on separate SSD,s.
Solved as posted earlier in this thread by hot fixing. ie- one in one out.

I don't have an icon for One Drive in my task bar. I set an icon for One Drive in my start menu, but I have never had an icon for One Drive in my task bar. When I use file explorer to go to One Drive, right clicking brings up plenty of options including Properties, but nothing that says Manage Storage.

OK, I just created an icon for One Drive in my task bar. When I right click on it I get two options, Open One Drive and Unpin this program from taskbar.

No - I'm not talking about a pinned taskbar icon or a pinned start menu tile. It is a system icon. You should have a little icon shaped like a cloud at the far right of your task bar - most likely you will need to click the "^" symbol over there to see it and other 'hidden' icons. If you don't see it in there, I don't know how to make it appear - I've never done anything to make it appear, it's always just been there.
