Microsoft has announced that on January 10, 2023, support will no longer be provided for the OneDrive for Business desktop application on devices running Windows 7 and 8.1. This change will have the following impacts:

• Updates will no longer be provided for the OneDrive desktop application on Windows 7 and 8.1 devices.
• OneDrive desktop applications running on Windows 7 and 8.1 devices will stop syncing to the cloud.

Individuals who are currently using the OneDrive for Business desktop application on Windows 7 and 8.1 devices should upgrade to Windows 10 or 11 to avoid disruption. Alternatively, those with machines that do not meet the system requirements for Windows 10 or 11 can back up and protect their files by manually uploading and accessing them on OneDrive online.
