MS Windows 11 is really persistent about wanting me to use their OneDrive Cloud storage. I don't care to use it. My important data is already backed up by other services. And the last thing I need is for MS to automatically move files from my local hard drive to a cloud server. I'm not keen about losing file access during an Internet outage. 

This video explains more about what OneDrive does and how to change/disable settings.

I'm not a fan of Windows 11 at all.

The stupid "Film Strip" at the bottom when you're trying to view an image! And they no longer let you download the normal photo viewer. This stuff always makes me think it's a bunch of IT guys trying to justify their jobs, making changes just to be changing it whether it was needed or not.  All done by people who are not creatives and have zero idea how creatives work with images.  grrrrrr

Windows 12 is expected to feature deeper AI integration, a modular architecture, and customizable user interface. But that won't be for 2 more years. Win12 has been delayed.

>Win12 has been delayed

Delayed is much better than being rushed into service before it is ready
