Visual Studio for Windows 8

I've been learning C# for a couple of months now using a text editor, Notepad. I run my code on Command Line.

I tried installing Visual Studio, but a keep getting a response that it's not available for Windows 8 asking me to upgrade to Windows 8.1.

I can't upgrade to Windows 8.1 at the moment, any suggestions on which version of Visual Studio I can use with Win 8 and links to download and install please.

Well, you could always look at the system requirements for each version of Visual Studio:

Visual Studio 2017

  • Windows 10 version 1507 or higher: Home, Professional, Education, and Enterprise (LTSB and S are not supported)
  • Windows Server 2016: Standard and Datacenter
  • Windows 8.1 (with Update 2919355): Core, Professional, and Enterprise
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update 2919355): Essentials, Standard, Datacenter
  • Windows 7 SP1 (with latest Windows Updates): Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate

Visual Studio 2015

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 7 SP 1
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Visual Studio 2013

  • Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
  • Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
  • Windows 8.1 (x86 and x64)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
  • Windows Server 2012 (x64)
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64)

So, of the "recent" versions, Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015 should work.
