Hi,
Ok, but that's not what I meant at all. Nobody's forced to use One Drive or any cloud service for that matter.
But if you did you then had a copy of it's content forced on an internal drive/partition. Might as well have stored yourself on an external device.
The latest version of One Drive now only stores the place holders instead of the full files. Much better and you can still stores the original files wherever you see fit.
Cheers,
Well, maybe the next or final build will address the issue of having to turn off/on your pc with each use. There are many apps and enhancements that I don’t use but some people do use them and that’s good enough for me. I do use onedrive and a tablet and a smartphone and they all talk to one another—thank God. But lots of people don’t use those. I like the fact that I can use what I want to use and leave the remainder alone. And that’s not bad or good—it Just is!
That's not the published info from Microsoft (unless you have one of those Clover Trail processors which can't get past 1607, in which case Microsoft said there will be security updates up to 2023 "for these specific devices"). It's not clear how this would work, or whether any other devices could get 1607 updates or whether it means an extension for CU support.
But for everyone else, it's "tentatively" March 2018 end date for AU and Sept 2018 for CU.
So AU and CU could both be out of support in less than a year's time. (And 1511 dies next week!)

** Applies to Windows 10 Home, Pro, Education and Enterprise editions. Windows 10 Mobile and Mobile Enterprise editions have no extended support period. All Windows 10 editions are managed via the Windows as a Service (WaaS) model: Updates are cumulative, with each update built upon all of the updates that preceded it. A device needs to install the latest update to remain supported. Updates may include new features, fixes (security and/or non-security), or a combination of both. Not all features in an update will work on all devices. A device may not be able to receive updates if the device hardware is incompatible, lacking current drivers, or otherwise outside of the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (“OEM”) support period... etc, etc...

I hope they release it a week before like they did the last time there was an upgrade...I mean to the general windows 10 users like myself who aren't participating in the insiders program...I like to jump in early :)
Thanks for the links. Install via Upgrade route and went smoothly. Very little fiddling with Settings required and all installed programs working that I've opened, as well as Windows settings. Like the new reading feature in Edge and see that Hibernation is no longer available so I can use Fast Startup again. Cheers
