I just replaced my hard drive and reinstalled W10 Fall Creators Edition. (I know that was overkill, I could have just restored a Macrium image but I am a machochist but I thought it time for a new clean install.)
On the old disk my Desktop was under users/me/Desktop. The new installation has out on One Drive. What is the difference between the two?
And, is there a way to move it from One Drive to users/me Desktop?
Thank you.
Hello JJ, :)
Setting "Desktop" to "This PC only" in your OneDrive settings like below should stop that for you.

Thank you, Brink.
That would, I think, do the job for any new Desktop items. I will try it if I can find how to get to that window. (help please.)
But how can I get all the Desktop stuff that is on Onedrive over to user/me/desktop?
Thanks again.

You're most welcome.
You can copy or move it from your "%UserProfile%\OneDrive\Desktop" folder to your "%UserProfile%\Desktop" folder to do so.
That seemed too easy but it worked just fine.
Thanks again.
