Microsoft will stop sending updates to customers using its OneDrive service on desktop applications for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. This will start exactly on March 1, 2022 according to its Tech Community forum post.

This will stop customers from syncing their content and data to the cloud after the said date. Microsoft is advising customers to upgrade to a newer version of its operating system, preferably Windows 11.

Even before that OneDrive on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will lose support starting January 2022. Microsoft says the reason for ending support is “to focus resources on new technologies and operating systems, and to provide users with the most up-to-date and secure experience.”
