Some pre Pre-emptive basic questions about the up coming Win 8 to Win 8.1 upgrade SkyDrive migration path
At present Windows 8 installed and the SkyDrive desktop app installed all works well - I login to windows 8 using a local machine account (Not the Microsoft account) this is how I originally installed windows 8
My worries are, that I gather you have no choice when upgrading to windows 8.1 but to use a Microsoft account -- this is not a problem as I can use existing one used for SkyDrive desktop app.
BUT ? in the process of upgrading and signing in with a Microsoft account is win 8.1 intuitive enough not to junk all files and photos in my present SkyDrive folder being that I would assume it creates another account ?
Would the built in -- integrated SkyDrive sync back down from cloud my files etc. ?
Or sync up none ?
Yes I will do a back up of my present SkyDrive local folders -- but would like to know some answers before possible hours of upload or hassle factor
there seems to be no clear definitive information for people that presently use win 8 and SkyDrive desktop signed in with local pc account
Thanks in advance for any insight from anyone
I have added the two DNS records for walker.ca (TXT and the low priority MX record) but the admin console keeps showing "You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record".
I have verified the entries are correct and read the article on MX troubleshooting. How do I resolve this issue?
A couple of week’s back I noted that the skydrive sync had stop and I was being prompted to restart. I did this think nothing of it.
Yesterday (06/10/2013) I went to save some new photos into my skydrive folder and found to my horror all my photographs missing (c.32GB). I checked the cloud version and it was the same. Note other documents had not been touched.
In my desktops recycled bin was the picture folder which I restored. All the sub-folders restored but only a few very recent photos where there.
In the recycle bin in the cloud the picture folder is shown (size c.32GB) however it won’t let me restore it, saying "This item might have been deleted, expired or you might not have permission to access it. Contact the owner of this item for more information".
I have put my trust (and money) in Microsoft to provide me with an online backup system for my documents and it appears to have failed me with my most precious items; my photos.
Please, please, please can you investigate if my photos can be retrieved?
Yours desperately,
Andy J
