For Windows 7, 8 users, Microsoft OneDrive updates to end by this date

In what has come as a big setback for users of Microsoft OneDrive on Windows, 7, 8, or 8.1, it has been announced that they will not be able to sync their content to the cloud and that a deadline has been set too. The last date is March 1, 2022 for all users of these products. Microsoft shared the announcement on its Tech Community forum through a blog post.

However, there is more. It has been made clear that OneDrive will also no longer receive updates if it’s running on a system that doesn’t have Windows 10 or Windows 11 installed. This was reported by The Verge.

However, there is a bit of relief that has been provided. It is being reported that users’ files will still be accessible from the OneDrive app. However, the only thing that will change is that they’ll no longer automatically upload to the cloud. In fact, no matter what version of Windows users are on, they will be able to access their files and they probably do not have to go through the frustration of having to shift their files.
