Info

This step is not required if you do not have any N: Drive content you want to migrate. This update will copy your existing N: Drive content from N: drive, N:\Pictures, and N:\Desktop to OneDrive. 

This step can take some time depending on the number and size of files. It’s a two-step process. Files are copied from your N drive to your computer, then synchronized to your OneDrive space. If your managed machine is at home and you have bandwidth concerns, contact your IST account rep for alternative options.   

If you would rather manually move N: drive files to your OneDrive, see: Migrating Moving N Drive Files to OneDrive on Windows 10 or Migrating Moving N Drive Files to OneDrive on MacOS and then move on to ‘Enable OneDrive Documents folder as your default file location’.
