When I updated Office to 365, Documents pat was still via One Drive. I cannot begin to tell you the grief One Drive has caused me. I was able to save Documents to Computer. Then I found that my Legacy PROGRAM still shows One Drive in the paths name. Legacy to my computer
I received a reply from someone else (BulldogXX) and I answered it but I do not see the answer posted on my profile

You can't save a program to OneDrive.
You can certainly save the program's files, but downloading those files to your computer is not going to install or re-install the program on your computer.
A better way is to save the program's installer to OneDrive - that's usually a single file. Then you can download the installer and run it from your computer.
