We have an employee who has a Win 10 / Win 11 Dual Boot system.  They switch OSes about once a week, and there’s a fair bit of change in their OneDrive for Business since the last time they loaded their “new” OS.  The issue is that, after switching OSes, they have to un-link and re-link their OneDrive before it will begin to sync data.  As this employee is also Visually Impaired, this is quite an annoying task for them to have to undertake once or twice a week. 

I’m presuming that the underlying cause is that OneDrive is generating an App ID from the system hardware, which is resulting in both installs looking like the same instance to the server.

 Is there a way to fix this so that the two installs properly sync after an OS switch?
