Recently upgraded to Windows 11 on my new computer and I’m not thrilled about being prompted to install and pay for Windows 365 in order to store my data in the cloud. I prefer to continue using the three hard drives I’ve always relied on, but I can’t figure out how to disable the cloud system. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

One of my main concerns is the slow internet speeds in my area, with only 6 Mbps upload and around 14 Mbps download. It’s incredibly time-consuming to save files under these conditions. Additionally, I don’t want to be pressured into paying for storage that I have already paid for elsewhere. I keep getting reminders to renew Windows 365, even though I haven’t purchased it yet, as I’m content with using Office 2013 for now.
