There are only drivers for W10 & W11. 

 

I zipped them up and attached them below.

 

It is very unlikely that they will work on W81.

 

Not to mention, even if by some miracle you could install W8.1 what did you plan to use for drivers for the audio, graphics and Wi-Fi?

 

Those do not exist for W8.1.

Well they kinda worked I put the windows 8.1 install.wim into an windows 10 installation and the drivers worked and it installed but I get a blue screen when I turn it on so I go into recovery open snappy driver installer origin full and install the storage drivers and because I'm dual booting windows 10 and windows 8.1 I can see the windows 10 Entery so I click on continue to windows 8.1 and it blue screens and I go again in recovery but this time it didn't show the windows 10 Entery and I needed to install the drivers again so this is a little bit of progress
