OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service, and it can be accessed from the web, smartphones and other mobile devices, Macs, and PCs running Windows 10 or 11.

To be clear, we recommend that most people do not sign in to Windows 11 with a local account as you will have a better–and safer–overall experience using a Microsoft account. But more sophisticated users who know what they're doing can use a local account securely. And doing so can eliminate some of the bad behaviors we see in Windows 11, in particular the silent, forced usage of OneDrive Folder backup.

If you prefer using a local account, this episode can help you do so using the more secure possible configuration.

The Windows 11 Out of Box Experience (OOBE) is part of Windows 11 Setup, and it's the first thing you will see when you purchase a new Windows 11-based PC and turn it on for the first time. The Windows 11 OOBE is similar to that from Windows 10, but it has been visually refreshed to match the Windows 11 look and feel. And it has been updated several times since the initial release of Windows 11. What you see here will vary a bit from PC to PC, but here's a quick rundown of the most common interfaces.
