Can't get OneDrive with all my data on new computer

You don’t need to “transfer” OneDrive from your old laptop at all.
Your files already live in the cloud — you just need to sign in correctly on the new computer.
If OneDrive isn’t syncing on the new laptop, it’s almost always one of a few simple issues.

Make sure you're signed into the SAME Microsoft account

This is the #1 issue.

On your new laptop:

1. Click Start → Settings → Accounts → Email & Accounts
2. Look for the Microsoft account that appears on the old laptop (typically ends in @outlook.com, hotmail.com, or your personal email)
3. If it’s not there → click Add account and sign in with the correct one

Then:

• Click the cloud icon (OneDrive) on the taskbar
• If it asks to sign in → use the same Microsoft account as the old laptop

If you sign in with a different Microsoft account by accident, it creates a new, empty OneDrive.

Check if OneDrive is installed

New Windows machines usually have it, but if not:

• Download: OneDriveSetup.exe from Microsoft’s site

Then run it and sign in.

Let OneDrive recreate the folder automatically

When you sign in, OneDrive will ask where you want to store your OneDrive folder.

Just click Next and accept the default folder.
Do NOT copy your old OneDrive folder manually — this causes sync problems.

Once logged in, your files should start downloading automatically.

These instructions apply to the current OneDrive sync client on Windows 10 and Windows 11 — the unified Microsoft OneDrive (Standalone Sync Client) that Microsoft has shipped since ~2017.

Hope this helps you
