"Dropbox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1" message but I'm on a Windows 10 PC.

I get an error message on the screen when starting my PC: Dropbox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Then I get a message telling me to quit Dropbox. Why do I get this when I have Windows 10...

Hey cmussells1, if the app is up and running, it should be syncing any changes from your Dropbox folder to your account online, and vice versa.

Would you mind checking the app's current syncing status, and sharing it with me?
