How do I save files that I'm working on in the Virtual Computer Lab?
The virtual machines in the Virtual Computer Lab are non-persistent meaning that when logged off, the virtual machine is deleted. Any files saved directly to the machine (desktop, documents, etc.) are lost.
To save files on the virtual machine, sign into the OneDrive client on the VM and upload your files to OneDrive prior to logging out.
IMPORTANT: Before logging out, ensure that the OneDrive client has completed the file sync (there are no circular arrows over the OneDrive "cloud" icon in the system tray)
