Who said I was sad about the experience? Sorry, but all I wanted to know was how to verify my identity since I could not find it in Windows 11 so that I could do a backup. I know where to find it in Windows 10, but Windows 11 seems to have either left it out, or moved it and I think I looked everywhere. I do use online backup to OneDrive, but I like a second one periodically - and external drives are not expensive.
The sad experience comment was a response to a different post. If you look at the emails they send you will most times see the name of the person for whom the response was made. Not necessarily you (not sure why that happens).
With regard to ID ? do you mean what drive you are backing up to ? The name of your computer ? If you want to know about You, then you need to go to Settings (the gear) and in the panel that shows up click on Accounts. Then review or sign in for further information.
