Notes

  • The SkyDrive desktop app isn't supported on Windows XP or Linux.

  • SkyDrive desktop app functionality is built into Windows 8.1. If you install the desktop app on a PC running Windows 8.1, Setup won't appear. A setting will be installed that lets you use Office to work on SkyDrive documents with other people at the same time, but no other features will be installed.
