I guess I'll just pile on here and tell you it's time to buy a new computer if you want to run any kind of modern software.

Right now, 8GB of RAM is barely enough to boot the system and do a basic Web browsing.

8 GBs is very small by today's standards. Have you looked to see if your computer can have the RAM upgraded? RAM is relatively an inexpensive upgrade.

I believe InDesign 2022 (17) was the last version to require a minimum of 4 GB, but I suspect it would have problems running with large/complex documents. You didn't mention what OS you are using but keep in mind that older software may not run properly on Macs.

There's no official way to download this kind of antique InDesign version.

You can try to contact Adobe support to ask for a download link for an old version, but there's no guarantee they would do this.
