This past weekend it was announced by Microsoft that the Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users will no longer support syncing content from the cloud. The information came through Microsoft's "TechCommunity" forum in the "Microsoft OneDrive Blog" section, where it was said that OneDrive will also not receive updates if the program is not running on Windows 10 or 11.

Will files and texts stored on OneDrive be lost?
According to Microsoft, files and texts stored on OneDrive will remain accessible. What will happen soon will be blocking the automatic upload of files from the computer to the cloud. This decision to end support for backing up OneDrive files to the cloud, according to Microsoft, is so that there are no problems with users of its platform.
Microsoft tells those computer users who don't have the minimum requirements for installing Windows 10 or 11 to back up their files to some hard drive or upload them to the OneDrive web app (browser). On January 1st, OneDrive will lose support on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Microsoft says the move is to "focus resources on new technologies and operating systems and provide users with the most up-to-date and secure experience."
