    Hi Raymond,

    What if I want "everything" to sync - including my desktop, free or open applications, etc. Thank you for this answer thus far!

    Hello Rob H,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I am a Microsoft user just like you, I hope you are doing well?

    With OneDrive, you can sync files between your computer and the cloud, so you can get to them from anywhere. You can sync 2 Windows PC using OneDrive by running the OneDrive desktop application and sign in with the same OneDrive account on both devices. Once done, both selected folders on both computers will be synced to one OneDrive account.

    1. Open OneDrive and sign in your Microsoft account.
    2. On the Your OneDrive Folder screen, select Next to accept the default folder location for OneDrive files. If you want to change the location of the folder, select Change location.
    3. Next, click on Open my OneDrive folder.
    4. When you open this page, you can drag and drop or copy and paste the files/folders you want to sync to the OneDrive folder.
    5. To make OneDrive sync two computers, simply come to the other computer. Again, run the OneDrive desktop application and sign in with the same OneDrive account. Then repeat the above actions. This way, both selected folders on both computers will be easily synced to one OneDrive account.
