I removed OneDrive from this notebook. I would like to start using it again but only to backup my System Partition.
Advice welcome.

Have you completely rejected the idea of a LOCAL system backup rather than relying on OneDrive?

I make an image file of my System partition C:Sys with Macrium Reflect and store it on a USB hard drive. I backup my data from D:/Data separately and store it on a USB hard drive. The reason I am considering using OneDrive is it would be automatically up-to-date.

I would assume your boot drive has several partitions.....C plus several others.

Do you back up ONLY the C partition?

I backup Data to an external SSD.

Post a screen shot of Windows Disk Management.

You have mentioned 2 partitions......C and "Data".

You likely have more than that.

But you are backing up ONLY C and "Data".

Why?

KCav, Did you solve that pesky user profile on the one last computer yet?

No, I am considering wiping the drive and installing Win 10 Pro 64-bit; appreciate advise on how to wipe the drive and test it before performing a Clean Install.
