    Which Microsoft 365 subscription do you have?

    If you have Microsoft 365 personal/family/premium, you have the office apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, and OneDrive 1TB storage.

    If you have Microsoft 365 Basic, you have the 100GB of OneDrive storage only without the office apps.

    Regarding more room and pictures download, please clarify -

    Is it room you need to clear on your local drive, or in your OneDrive?

    I assume you meant download from OneDrive?

    Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that includes a suite of applications and services such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneDrive, among others. OneDrive, on the other hand, is specifically a cloud storage service that is part of Microsoft 365, designed for storing, sharing, and collaborating on files. While OneDrive is included in Microsoft 365, it can also be used independently as a personal cloud storage solution.

    To download all your photos at once from OneDrive, you can use the OneDrive web interface:

    1. Go to the OneDrive website and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    2. Navigate to the folder where your photos are stored.
    3. Select the photos you want to download. You can select multiple photos by holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on Mac) while clicking on each photo.
    4. Once selected, click on the "Download" button, and the selected photos will be downloaded as a zip file to your device.

    If you have a large number of photos, you might want to consider organizing them into folders to make the downloading process easier.
