Strangely, if you download and install a version of Office 365, where you can still join the Insider Program (below 2301), it will install the latest (2303) without any errors on Windows 8.1. They officially ended support with 2301

The original poster of the topic has been banned (because the software list doesn't look legit), so, your suggestion won't be considered, but, good to know Office 365 installed with no errors for you on 8.1.

Oh, I didn‘t know. I didn‘t wanted to post it on the Windows 7 topics site and there was no other Win8 topic regarding Office

Since when did Photoshop 2023 work on 8.1?

Posted

The latest Microsoft Office 365 (v2307) also works on 8.1

I'm surprised there haven't been compatibility issues since EOL was with 2301/2302

For Windows 7, compatibility was broken with v2003 already

Audition 2022 almost works, 14.0.0.36 is the last version to unofficially work ( Requires latest updates )

utorrent support ended for 8.1:(. 3.5.5 build 46096 is last supported version

Nah it still works on 8.1

Just tried out 3.6

Just copy it from a Windows 10 install to 8.1 and launch utorrent.exe. It might install WebView2

So, new news:

- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) v2308 works on Windows 8.1. Support had ended with v2301, roughly half a year ago (link below)

- Firefox 117 (latest Alpha) works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 (7 as well)

- Chrome 114 works, but 115 crashes for me (there are forks like Supermium or CatsXP that are based on 115 but I haven't tested them, so I cannot recommend them)

 

I am kind of surprised that Microsoft didn't implement functions that would break compatibility with Windows 8.1 yet. They probably don't care. Windows 7's

compatibility was broken after v2002 as far as I remember.

Supermium that is based on 115

I tried on a simple Window8 (without the "1"), on an old laptop from 2012, it works good. Not sure there were drastic changes between 114 and 115.
