MongoDB for Windows 8

Ops and Admin
5

Hi @111668,

Since MongoDB 4.2 is the last server release series to support Windows 8, you should select the most recent 4.2 version from the MongoDB Download Centre:

4.2-windows-version-select

Microsoft ended support for Windows 8 on January 12, 2016 so this O/S is no longer receiving any security or maintenance updates.

If you want to try a version of MongoDB server newer than 4.2, other options to consider given you are still using Windows 8 are:

  • run MongoDB server on a supported O/S inside a Docker container
  • install MongoDB in a hosted VM or VPS
  • use a managed service like MongoDB Atlas
