Changing the Default Save Location

If you don’t want to use OneDrive, you might find it annoying that it is the default save location. You can change this setting so files save to This PC by default.

  1. Click the File tab to open Backstage view.

  2. Click Options.

  3. In the Word Options window, select Save from the left panel.

  4. Check the box next to Save to Computer by default.
  5. Click OK to confirm.

Now, your files will save to This PC instead of OneDrive.
