"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 on my PC?

    Same problem here, I have installed Dropbox serveral times and tried everything but still get the message same message as Energirad. I have windows 10 for years now so it is very frustrating. This is the second big problem with Dropbox in 1 year, so I hope this will get fixed very soon otherwise I will go to Onedrive
