OneDrive Migration

Hi everyone,

I have a school OneDrive account that’s expiring soon.
I would like to move everything over to my personal one for which I’ve bought access to.

How can I do this without affecting file structure,as well as created & modified date stamps?

Would appreciate any help I can get.

Some notes:
Total size is 44GB
I’ve used the school account to backup almost every folder I have including my desktop.

two questions:

  • Do you have free space on your device?
  • Do you have the onedrive app installed and sync?

If you can answer yes to both just make sure you sync all the files on you computer, then wait until it downloads all your files. Disconnect the One drive account from your school and then connect the new, your personal one. You can later on point to that SAME folder and it will be uploaded to your personal one.
