Some settings on your machine may cause stability issues with Composer. If you encounter issues, try to change the following:

The Windows OneDrive folder is not supported on PHP versions below 7.2.23 and 7.3.10. Upgrade your PHP (7.3.5) to use this location with Composer.

Welcome to Stack Overflow! What is your question? - Adrian Mole
I think he has the same problem as me: He need to install Composer to upgrade his PHP but windows said that he need to upgrade his version to get Composer. So it's typically like a snake that's bite is tail. - bosskay972
Thanks for posting about PHP needing to be a higher version for it to work properly with OneDrive. I was using 7.3.6 and could not get composer to work properly. I kept getting "[ErrorException] file_get_contents(./composer.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory" among other errors. Once I updated PHP, it then started working perfectly. Been searching forums for hours trying to figure out how to get it to work. - SylvrFalkon

If you have WAMP(or XAMP or MAMP) just desinstall it and then re-install the lastest version. You should be able to have php 7.4.0 and 7.3.12 and then you could install Composer.
