END OF SUPPORT FOR ONEDRIVE DESKTOP APPLICATION ON WINDOWS 7, 8, AND 8.1

‎Nov 05 2021 09:00 AM

In order to focus resources on new technologies and operating systems, and to
provide users with the most up-to-date and secure experience, beginning January
1, 2022, updates will no longer be provided for the OneDrive desktop application
on your personal Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 devices.
Personal OneDrive desktop applications running on these operating systems will
stop syncing to the cloud on March 1, 2022. 

 

After March 1st, 2022, your personal files will no longer sync and should be
uploaded/accessed directly on OneDrive for web.

 

If you are currently using one of these operating systems, we recommend
upgrading your operating system to either Windows 10 or Windows 11 to avoid
disruption. For machines that do not meet system requirements for Windows 10 or
Windows 11 operating system upgrade, you can back up and protect your files by
manually uploading them to OneDrive on the web, and continue to access, edit,
and share your files on all your devices.

 

If you are using the OneDrive desktop application for business, starting January
1, 2022, support for this application will be aligned with the Windows support
lifecycle.

Note: Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are in extended support until January 10, 2023.
Windows 8 reached end of support on January 12, 2016.

 

Learn more: 

 * OneDrive system requirements
 * OneDrive desktop app for earlier versions of Windows
 * Sync files with OneDrive in Windows
 * OneDrive desktop app for Windows
 * Move files off a Windows 7 PC with OneDrive
 * Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive
   
   
   

Thanks,

OneDrive Team

So another obvious move by M$ to force users onto a newer OS, when there could
many reasons for them not wanting to or needing to upgrade.  That and did you
guys forget Windows 8.1 is in extended support till Jan 2023?

Does this mean that on Mar 2022 the OneDrive Sync App will no longer sync
Sharepoint sites and company managed OneDrive folders?  Or is this just for
personal OneDrive accounts?

@b1k3rdude OneDrive for Business users on Windows 8.1 will still receive
extended support through January 2023, aligning with the Windows support policy.

 

@DanLhotka After March 2022, only personal OneDrive accounts will stop syncing
on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. OneDrive for Business, SharePoint sites, and company
managed OneDrive folders are not affected and will continue to sync.

That's it then. The last thing I will migrate away from Microsoft. Thanks for
nothing. And thanks I never paid for OneDrive a dime (except with my personal
data saved on it). Moving to private managed storage place.

As a fan of Windows 8.1 and long defender of its unique UX on the tablet and
phone I have given up on Microsoft with the announcement of Windows 10.

 

Good bye Microsoft.

 

ps: the editor here displayed a message "Your content was last saved to auto
recover at 04:39 AM. Please save your document, using the save button, regularly
to avoid data loss." Just to let you know: There is no "save" button in this
interface. Current state of MS Software...

So if the Business version continues to sync its not a matter of resources.
After all this is just software that runs no matter what. While Windows has a
long history of staying back compatible (can still run Windows 1.0 calculator on
Windows 10) this move shows that MS no longer cares about its non-business users
that made it what it is today.

Other cloud storage providers will read that announcement with joy.

This is too bad. I use OneDrive on my work laptop which has Windows 10, but also
on my home PC with relatively recent hardware that runs Windows 7. I have had no
issues with the OneDrive app, other than recently having to update registry
settings to enable TLS 1.2. The app is responsive, fast and works very well. I
need to continue using it also on my home PC. I understand that since I connect
to Sharepoint, I will be able to keep syncing files; nonetheless it would be
nice to have continued support and updates.

So the last version to work on Windows 7/8/8,1, it seems, is version 21.230,
dated November 29, 2021?

Downloaded the installer for 21.245 or 22.002, but get an error message after
launching:

"Unable to install OneDrive / A supported version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 is
required to proceed."

Although I suspect not much has changed under the hood, and the recent version
could probably run just fine on Windows 7 if it wasn't blocked to install.

I highly request that the team still allows the app to function to sync critial
files for the near future as it is also powering the sync of app layouts and
other settings in the OS. OneDrive on Windows 8.1 is like the best as the app is
so fluent and like a slideshow, so beauitful indeed!
