What is the difference between the copy and the migration scripts?​

The copy script
(AS - Copy N: Drive to OneDrive)

The migration script
(AS - OneDrive Migration)

  • The copy script is called ‘AS - Copy N: Drive to OneDrive’. This script copies all your files (with some system-type files exceptions) from your N: drive to your OneDrive.​

  • This can take at least an hour, but could be longer depending on files and your internet ​

  • You have the option of moving your files manually if you prefer

    • If you copy all your files on your own, from N: to OneDrive, you can skip running the Copy script​

  • Preparation required before running the script: close all N: drive files (including manually closing OneNote notebook files)​

  • The Migration script is called ‘AS - OneDrive Migration'

  • This migration script redirects Documents, Desktop, Pictures folders to OneDrive instead of N:​

  • This runs very quickly.​

  • You will be logged off after this runs​

  • Preparation: close all your applications to prepare for being logged off​ 

Can I run the Copy script more than once?
