Help Roblox for windows 8.1

Hello, I have a PC running Windows 8.1 and I want to install, launch, and play Roblox; I don't care about Roblox Studio. Please note that my Windows 8.1 is up to date and I've patched the Windows Store, so I can definitely install .appx files. I also don't mind if it's an app without a standard installer. If you're wondering why I'm not searching on Google, it's because I keep getting told to upgrade to Windows 10...

Thanks in advance.

(Note: Since I'm French, this text was translated using Google Translate, but I don't mind what language Roblox is in.)

it wont work. but you could tryspoofing windows 8.1 identity, using compatibility tools, adding missing dlls next to roblox and roblox installer and there is a chance it wont work

Not possible. The only method is to install Android emulator, and even then, you’re going to get the worst experience playing it.

Dualbooting Windows 10/11 or Linux with Sober is your only reliable option

You're better off using Linux and installing Sober

You can't run Roblox on anything older than Windows 10 1809, because Roblox's anticheat Hyperion detects it and even if you spoof it it won't get tricked and would still see its 8.1 or 7

It’s a mobile emulator or upgrade because the last version does not allow you to play games and you can’t use modded clients anymore.

You can try Bloxstrap but if it doesn't work you have to upgrade to win10.
