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..

Windows 8.1 is still in extended support until 1/10/2023 and in this version OneDrive is not an optional Windows Feature.  I suppose Microsoft can deviate from its lifecycle policies at will.  However, such deviations don’t exactly fill me with confidence.
