I am currently using Windows 10 Pro and wondering if putting off the change to Windows 11, will only multiply the number of potential losses, especially if I have disabled One Drive? I have 2 Desktop PC's and two laptops. all but one laptop(its running on 11 Pro), are running on Windows 10 Pro. Do Firefox users recommend taking Microsoft's offer for a free upgrade to Windows 11?
I want to be able to sign in and provide my own backup locally. I would also like to save a word document directly and with the shortest path possible; going from "User/my-username/documents" (same applies to all other data saved, like photos, music...), and not be forced to save to Microsoft's OneDrive. What is most disturbing about One Drive, is that it could be an additional option with its own pathway, rather than holding owners captive to Microsoft and it's objectives that are not chosen for my best interests.
I wonder how many Windows users even know that all of his/her information/data are First saved to a Microsoft cloud. Norton shares the options with you and gives the user the choice to backup in it's cloud
I don't have a problem of having my computers locally synced, but I do not want to be trusting Microsoft to have my computers sync in it's cloud. I personally, do not have any critical reason to have all of my computers sharing information. My desktops are each being used for unrelated tasks.
When/if the day comes that corporations like Microsoft, share it's suggestions, and are allowing the user to choose from the beginning, rather than making decisions for the owner of his/her computer, forcing them to discover what Microsoft has chosen and how to undo the choice without the risk of losing one's data; I will want to use my PC's locally, without being forced to log in with a Microsoft account.
I have read and watched many reviews that are suggesting/wanting to exit Microsoft's "ownership" of his/her computer, providing ways to turn off choices like One Drive and/or remove it completely.
Does Firefox have an opinion on this subject(emphasis being One Drive) and will I be OK with my Firefox account providing a backup of all data related to my use of Firefox? I have each computer backed up locally. Until things are turned around and all choices are turned back over to the local owner of his/her PC, I have a hard time of trusting any corporation selling my information.
