My Camera is not showing in Device Manager.

Before I did a scan for any changes I noticed the name in which I named my computer during one of the requests when setting up the Windows 11 installation was not there however after the scan the name was there and when I opened it there was the option to add drivers. My question is should I proceed with adding the drivers?

I just purchased a new computer and went through the motions of installing Windows and I have the same going on in this computer. It's like a spreading cancer however when I check the properties of what folders I do have scattered around the first part of the path after the user is One Drive. Has One Drive taken over my computers?

    No, everything will remain the same other than OS.

    If I made file paths that confused any of the Windows apps, folders or files, and if so aren't I just upgrading or repairing everything with the mistakes intact?

    It will refresh Windows OS, everything else will remain same.

    Is the privacy mode that you are referring too is the Microsoft New In Privacy mode as per the three dots on the upper right side?

    I noticed that the upgrade that you are referring to is for Windows 10. Is this OK?

    When I do this upgrade will it also bring any bad paths or what ever is bad along with it?

    I recommend doing an "in-place upgrade". This will download Windows 11 installer files and use those to update and repair your system.

    You can follow the video guide in the below link to know how to get it done:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/emb...

    1. Please visit this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-downlo...
    2. There you will see an option "Download tool now"
    3. A media creation tool with the latest version will be downloaded.
    4. Open it in the file location and run it as administrator.
    5. Accept the terms and licenses.
    6. Select the "Upgrade this PC"
    7. And then the downloading will start.
    8. Press "Install" once done.

    The system will restart several times and the updates will happen.
