My clean install was based on the most recent release of Win10 from less than one month ago. Older versions of Windows 10 such as upgraded from Win7 or clean installs from a few months ago will not be showing OneDrive in the Documents path….just yet.
It’s amazing that we have to talk about “older versions of Windows 10” !! Here is what MS says: Thank you for contacting OneDrive Support. The path C:\Users\Name\OneDrive\Documents is created by default and using a clean install of Windows 10 because the file explorer system is intricately tied with OneDrive. For personal home users of Windows 10 OneDrive is the file system they would be using for their computer. I understand that it will require some changes in file paths and in any guides that reference those file paths however we did this to better incorporate file hosting and being able to access your files from any device not just when you are at home or at work.

Legacy's default folder was in the c:\users\<user name>\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\. Same with the Windows 10 upgrade over Windows 7 on my desktop. Since I did the Win10 upgrade, I installed a fresh copy of Legacy. The default folders for Office 365 on the laptop (I got a free copy of it for a year and had to install it myself) did go to the OneDrive folder, but not the Legacy installs - and I have two different versions installed. Legacy was installed after Office 365 on the laptop and after the OneDrive folder was installed on the desktop.

It seems that I was right in that Microsoft is pushing their OneDrive cloud service onto users whether they want it or not. Now we know why the upgrade to Windows 10 was free. It will be interesting to see if existing users of previous versions of Windows 10 will have their Documents folder moved into a OneDrive folder. OneDrive indicates my free storage capacity is 15 GB. But if one were to click on their link to add more storage, that page says that the current free plan is 5 GB. Maybe it’s the Win10 Pro version that gets 15 GB over the Home version. Brian in CA
