On which Windows versions is Cloud Files API supported? - c++

Microsoft website says about Cloud Files API (Cloud Sync Engines):
Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, Windows provides the cloud files
API.
However, OneDrive that is built using this API can run on earlier Windows versions, including Windows 8.1. I guess that I just need to install all Windows updates or need to install some windows components on Windows 8.1.
Is Cloud Files API supported on Windows 8.1?

I have tested
OneDrive on Win 8.1 x64 Version 6.3 (Build 9600)
And OneDrive on Win 10 x64 Version 1909 (Build 18363.1082)
Windows 8.1 does not support offline files in the manner Windows 10 is doing. It just synchronizes all files from the server to the client.
I have also tried calling cloud filter API - it is not supported on Windows 8.1
Unhandled exception. System.TypeLoadException: Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Windows.Storage.Provider.StorageProviderSyncRootManager'

How to install custom Credential Provider in Windows 8

I want to "install" a credential provider.
What I have already done:
I installed a vm with windows 8.1. Downloaded the Windows 8 Sample. Built the dll with Visual Studio. Copied the dll to the System32 folder in my VM and executed the register.reg file in the VM.
So I´m asking if these steps were right and if the dll file should have a special name?
look at:

the most relevant link from there is:
Credential Providers in Windows 10 - Microsoft Windows 10 summary page in the MSDN (still kind of a WIP)

Do Monaca Build Windows Apps Work on WIndows 10?

I built an app in Monaca, and have successfully deployed and published it on google play and the App Store. I know I have to sign it with visual studio to publish it in the windows store, but can manually install it using powershell for development purposes. However, even though it works on android and ios, it crashes immediately after launching in Windows 10. I read over the documentation, and my question is: Is it even compatible? Everything in the documentation is either outdated or stictly for windows 8.
Yes they are compatible. I finally installed and ran it successfully.

Unable to find ahadmin.h file

I am using Windows 64 bit machine (windows server 2008) & have IIS 7.5. When I try to build one of project which is in C++, it shows ahadmin.h file missing.
I am very new to IIS server project.
You need to download and install Windows SDK. It doesn't seems like this file comes with Visual Studio, but it's part of the SDK.
