Microsoft recommends that OneDrive users who need local access upgrade their PC to Windows 10 or Windows 11.
If for some reason your PC does not support these newer Windows versions, you can continue accessing OneDrive via its web interface, as per reports.
These dates apply to both OneDrive for consumers and OneDrive for Business.
Microsoft has long had trouble persuading some customers to upgrade to newer versions of Windows, to the point where companies and governments would rather pay for special support contracts than update.
