When I did the reinstall I selected the option to do an off line install without access to my MS account. It all went smoothly and things like the document folder were set up as local, not cloud, folders. I then deleted all the bumph that I did not want, including the One Drive app (Alistair: I had already deleted the files from the OneDrive cloud, and no, I can't work out how to get rid of Edge either).

The curious thing about all this is that I have more free space on my disk.

Anyway, at the end of the day, I have got what I wanted in the first place. If I want I can now reinstituted connection to my MS account and without OneDrive it should leave my files where they are. I can't see the point though so I will leave it as it is.

Oh. And the Mediacom Flexbook seems meet my needs fairly well. It may not be the fastest thing available but it cost very little, is well made and looks good, battery life is reasonable etc. I like the touch screen but use it with a Bluetooth mouse too.
