I just hope that Google extends their Chrome Support for Windows 7 again or that they dont pull the plug on Win8 alongside W7 on that day. Looks like Windows 8's support end for many Apps will be alongside Windows 7's. That reminds me of poor Windows Vista, which was always coupled up with Windows XP, when companies ended their support for XP (Firefox, Chrome, MS Office, Skype, Spotify.). I can somehow unterstand that the support for Windows 7 and 8.0 is ending, because both reached their End Of Life already, however pulling the plug on Windows 8.1 soo early is just a typical Microsoft-move. I can't lie when I tell you how surprised I was after recently reading a new article, about Microsoft ending support for OneDrive on Windows 7, 8 and even 8.1 in 2022. As a reminder, Windows 7 and 8.1 are in extended support until January 10, 2023.Well. “If you sign in to OneDrive with a work or school account, starting January 1, 2022, support for this application will be aligned with the Windows support lifecycle,” the OneDrive team said yesterday. It is important to note that this change is only applicable to consumer accounts, and it won’t impact business users immediately. “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,” the OneDrive team explained in a blog post. Beginning in January next year, the OneDrive sync app will reach end of support on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, and it will stop syncing personal files to the cloud on March 1st, 2022. Microsoft announced its plans to retire the OneDrive sync client on older versions of macOS back in August, and now the app is getting a similar treatment on older versions of Windows.
