What is your processor model number? If a 7th gen processor or later, only Windows 10 is supported.

That is a Gemini Lake processor. Like the 7th gen and later Core processors, only support for Windows 10 is provided. There is no possibility of using a hack to back-port the driver to Windows 8.1 as the drivers are being implemented in the DCH driver model, which is only supported (by Microsoft) on Windows 10.
Sorry,

It means that you should be using Windows 10, and nothing less.

Microsoft has decided that nothing less than windows 10 will be supported on 7th gen processors and later.. It has nothing to do with windows 8.x still being supported by Microsoft.
