Today’s Quick Tip….
Microsoft is ending support for OneDrive on Windows 7/8
Are you still using Microsoft’s OneDrive app on a PC that’s running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1?
If so, you’ll need to update your machine to either Windows 10 or Windows 11 if you want to keep your PC’s OneDrive app syncing to the cloud after March 1, 2022.
According to this announcement, personal OneDrive desktop apps running on those older versions of Windows will stop syncing with their associated OneDrive cloud storage spaces on that date.
However, you won’t have to worry about losing any of the files that are currently stored in your OneDrive cloud storage account.
All of those files will still be accessible via your OneDrive cloud account on the web.
