If any user has installed other software with the OneDrive app pointing its AutoSave location to OneDrive instead of ThisPC, then I would caution them to expect some turbulence if they make that AutoSave change. In my case, Nero and Cyberlink write their own folders to the Documents location just like Legacy. My grandson who was running some Steam games on my computer found out that once Steam creates their folders in the OneDrive path, changing the AutoSave back to ThisPC causes certain games to crash....probably requiring them to be re-install. But these are games and we all know that game applications seldom follow any standard procedures.
One would hope that Microsoft will do the decent thing and implement a facility such as has always been present before the advent of the pernicious cloud. This facility allows you to move the Personal folder to anywhere on the PC, such as another drive. At the same time, the present contents of the Personal folder are moved to the new location. I would hope that Microsoft will ensure that when Documents is switched back to ThisPc, that the contents of Documents are moved from OneDrive to This Pc.
