I have been playing with the new toy for a few days now and right at the moment I am completely reinstating the Windows system.

I am more than a bit peed off with MS at the moment. The way it was set up originally was that all user files and data were automatically backed up to or stored on OneDrive. This would not be a huge problem except for the fact that we are working on a 4G Wi-Fi modem on a 50 GB annual data plan (normally fine while we are on holidays). Also I have now realised that some Microsoft apps now seem Software as a Service type apps that require internet access. One way or another a fair bit of data has been chewed up. In trying to block all references to OneDrive I seem to have lost nothing important but in the end I decided to do a complete reset. When I set it up again I will use my Android tablet as a Wi-Fi access point because it is attached to a plan that allows unlimited data access. I am also setting it up to function off line. I will see how that works.

All this is making me think tha Linux is perhaps a better option and I will make a bootable USB key to see if Linux will work on it.

As I was writing this Windows was reinstalling itself and setting it up to function off line seems to have functioned to get rid of One Drive and I deleted the One Drive app and several others I don't want from the system. I will now re-install my software.
