I have two hard drives - a C: with Windows 8.1 and Program Files folders, and a D: with the OneDrive folder, so:

C:\Windows
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)

D:\OneDrive

The entire OneDrive folder (about 120 GB) is available offline.

Next week, when Windows 10 comes out, I would like to format my C: and perform clean installation of Windows 10. However, I don't want resync my entire 120 GB OneDrive folder. So my question is, if I leave the D: intact, and when I install Windows 10, I simply move the OneDrive fodler from it's default location to D:\OneDrive (the same place where I currently have OneDrive now), will OneDrive realize that all my files are there, and not try to resync and possibly duplicate all my files?

Thank you
