Windows 10 cannot find office 2007 docs after clean install

Double check that you actually copied the files and didn't just make shortcuts by accident. If they are just short cuts, they will only work when the external drive is plugged in.

Final update before marking as solved.

It had nothing to do with one drive syncing. It's Panda Internet Security. There is a function as a part of this called Data Shield. You are asked to enable it after installing the package. If enabled Office 2007 cannot find your office docs, disable it and Hey Presto! They are back. So the answer is if anyone else has this problem and is running Panda disable Data Shield.

Interesting.
Good thing I do not use any 3rd party security program. I would never find out the solution.
