Thanks for your feedback. Well, it does make some sense in an era when people now have multiple devices that can connect to the internet. MS is working for "the government", to let them spy on us, ie US "Patriot" Act, and various other national laws. As well as Stefan's suggestion, you can "kill" the Windows OneDrive sync tool if you don't want to use it. This tool is an alternative to manually killing OneDrive. So it may turn out to not be a permanent fix. Take a look at this utility. Go to the web page and watch the video before running it.

The video mentions a gotcha to watch out for. One of the options is to uninstall OneDrive. Even if you "kill OneDrive", personally, I move my files away from the 3 folder it automatically syncs. MS has a nasty habit of "resetting" settings to it's preferred values when it does major updates, ie turning Sync back on What you are looking to do is "Kill OneDrive". You want to do this just in case a later Windows Update "accidentally" starts OneDrive Sync running again.

Whether this is possible may depend on the version of Windows, though. Windows Home may require that an online account is used. A local "Windows" user account requires you to sign in to Office separately. You need to do that sign in to access other specific "online" features.

But it also signs in to OneDrive. OneDrive is an integral part of A "Microsoft" account uses your email account. When you sign in to the "Microsoft" account it also automagically signs in in the background. So, yes, using a Windows Local account is an option, but it won't solve the problem of syncing to OneDrive for subscribers Personally, I always set up a local account myself in Windows Professional , because it makes Windows less intrusive.

Of course, it won't fix all problems with a forced integration with OneDrive. I have the same question 1. Report abuse. IF the old computer was still running, the Office installation would go into "limited function mode" because it was no longer activated. Still in the MyAccount site on the new computer, find and click on the Install button see install article below.

Essentially it is a 3 step process which can all be done from the new computer. The first step is to log in to the MyAccount site on the new computer. After you sign out of Office, you still can view and print documents from that device, but you won't be able to edit them or create new ones. If you want to use Office on the device, you'll need to sign in to Office when prompted. If you have an Office subscription, you can deactivate Office on a PC or Mac that you're no longer using.

Deactivating an Office install doesn't uninstall Office, remove Office documents, or cancel your Office subscription. It just removes your license from that computer to free it up to use on another computer.

It allows read and print only. You cannot save new files or save changes to existing ones. The third step is to install on the new computer. Note: Because this process is done through your web browser, you can deactivate an Office install from any device.

It can take up to 72 hours for the Office install to detect that it's been deactivated. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I had purchased MS Office and have it on my laptop. This laptop broke and is no longer functional. I purchased a new laptop and when I tried to 'install MS Office on the new computer, I am getting the message that this copy is already in use.
