Will be changing from win 10 to win 11 system. I thought onedrive might be helpful in file transfers but ran into some issues. Unless I subscribe to cable or satellite service, I am topped out at 10Mbte transfer rate – slow for the amount of data to back up and transfer. I also found that many files I routinely use are ‘locked out’ as ‘sync pending.’ Can’t use or edit them. I did find I could copy them to an external drive and use them so I did that.  The question remains that if I stop the sync process, will the ‘sync pending’ flags go away and release my files? What do I need to do to get that accomplished?
