Do you already have (personal) OneDrive on your computer? If you are not sure, here is how you can find that out:

Look in your system tray

The bottom corner of your screen, where you can find the time and the icons for your internet connection, volume, etc is called System Tray. It usually displays only part of the controls and apps that run on the background on your computer. If you see a little up arrow appear next to the icons there, you can click on it and it will open a little pop-up box showing more icons. Have a look through all of them and see if you can spot a white cloud icon as show in the image above.

Check in File Manager

You can also find if you have personal OneDrive installed on your computer by opening the File Manager. To do that you could check first if there is an icon on the Desktop called This PC, but it can also be opened by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard (it is to the left of the space bar and has the Windows logo on it), holding it down while pressing the E key on your keyboard. Once you have opened the File Explorer, have a look in the left hand side panel for OneDrive-Personal as shown in the image above.

If you already have a personal OneDrive installed on your computer, click on the button below saying that you already have a personal OneDrive on your computer; otherwise click on the other button saying that you do not have OneDrive installed on your computer.
