iTunes for Windows 8.1 download

[glowworm51]

When trying to install your download (Apple iTunes 12.11.0.26 for Windows 7, 8 and 10 Download), it fails saying that it requires Windows 10. What version can be used for 8.1?

Hi there G can you please try with this version and let me know if it works:

Hi Erik - many thanks for this. The installation went through okay but then I got a message saying that 'The file iTunes Library could not be read because it was a created on a newer version'. I am not sure if this was created when I tried to install the latest version that requires Windows 10 or because I used to run a version on Windows 8.0

Do you remember what version you were running before on Windows 8?

Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately not. I have several previous iTunes Library files the latest dating back to May 2018.

Success - I downloaded 12.10.10 as this was the latest version (listed in Wikipedia) to support Windows 8. Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll make sure we keep the downloads that work in older versions of Windows moving forward.
