Windows 8.1 reached the end of Mainstream Support on [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/lifecycle/faq/windows#windows-81 January 9, 2018]; unless you purchase extended support, the only Microsoft-supported Windows version now is Windows 10. We strongly recommend you do not use versions of Windows unsupported by Microsoft.
