The procedure entry point BCryptHash could not be located in the dynamic link library while setting up MongoDB shell

When I tried to setup the MongoDB shell version 4.4.6 in my windows 8 system I am getting the following error:-

The procedure entry point BCryptHash could not be located in the dynamic link library D:..\bin\mongo.exe

Is this related to any dll file missing my windows system ?

According to [MS.Docs]: BCryptHash function (bcrypt.h) (emphasis is mine):

Minimum supported client        Windows 10 [desktop apps | UWP apps]

Then I checked [MongoDB.Docs]: Install MongoDB Community Edition on Windows - Platform Support which states (emphasis still mine):

EOL Notice

  • MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2

  • MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 8 / Server 2012

  • MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2

So, either upgrade to Windows 10, either install an older MongoDB version.
