Shared album ( see below)

I share my photos myself via shared photos and I use MacOs Monterey.


I am wondering whether I will lose them all on Jul26th as the system says that Monterey is not supported.


"iCloud Shared Photo Library is only available on an iPhone with iOS 16.1 or later, an iPad with iPadOS 16.1 or later, a Mac with macOS Ventura 13 or later, an Apple TV with tvOS 16 or later, or a PC with iCloud for Windows 14 or later. If you open the Photos app on a device that hasn't been updated to a supported version, you won't see the photos that you moved from your Personal Library to your Shared Library."


Will I lose them and if so how do I save them ( I cannot update this computer and cannot afford to buy and updated one)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

No, the demiss of My Photo Stream does not have any impact on the items in Shared albums. Shared albums are using a different iCloud service, and are storing their own copies of the shared items.
