Step-by-Step Guide
Stage 1: Installing OneDrive
OneDrive is part of Microsoft 365 and provides a personal storage option which synchronises your data on your device and in the Cloud.
1) From your desktop in Windows 10 look for the search bar in the bottom left of the screen which says “Type here to search”, type “OneDrive” and then click on the OneDrive icon underneath the “Best Match” suggestion.
2) A new icon will then be added to the system tray in the bottom right of your screen which you should double click and then choose “Sign In.” Enter your email address, click “Sign in” and then enter your password.
3) Continue with the installation by clicking “Next”, then “Choose This Folder”, followed by “Next” three more times, then “Later” and finally “Open My One Drive Folder”.
4) OneDrive has now been added to your PC and you can access files and folders from the left hand side of a File Explorer window. Within here you will be able to access any documents already saved in the Cloud and any files you save in this location will be synchronised online.
