Is there a photoshop/lightroom package for windows 8.1?

Hello everyone. Yesterday I took the plunge and bought the photoshop/lightroom monthly package. However a page came up with ''This computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for Lightroom CC'' . I Initially thought I had too much stuff on my PC and not enough space for it so I removed lots of videos and photos but have since found out its because i'm running windows 8.1 and not windows 10. I Did try windows 10 when it first came out but I hated it and went back to windows 8.1. So my question is can I get photoshop and lightroom anywhere that runs on windows 8.1? I Do not want to risk windows 10 again especially as it's no longer free.

Thank you in advance,

I Have now downloaded the Lightroom Classic via the Adobe site and have got it working with no problem at all! I Haven't been asked to pay for anything yet so I presume it's on seven day trial. Can't understand why the first time I tried to download Lightroom I had the above problems, maybe it was a newer version?

Photoshop works just fine on Windows 8.1 (see the system requirements page: Photoshop system requirements )

Lightroom also works on just fine on Windows 8.1 (see the system requirements page: Lightroom Classic CC system requirements )

What are your other system specs? How much RAM do you have? What processor? Etc.

    Thank you for the reply. I Initially thought it was because I didn't have enough ram on my PC but when speaking to Adobe they sent me the system requirements page and on there it said operating system needs to be Windows 10. I Asked them if there was another program but they said no and refunded my payment. But later I realised that I had the free seven day trial at the start of the year and was on 8.1 then and also a friend of mine is also using photoshop and lightroom while still on windows 8.1. I Have an Alienware 18 PC with intel core i7 and 16384MB RAM.
