What does that mean and does it mean the pc is too old?
Hi Windows 8 is obsolete and superseded by Windows 10, go to Microsoft Windows 10 site and check to see if your computer is capable of running W10, there is an app therein that will do that for you. If it can then check on the internet for method to install it without the need for a microsoft key.
If it is incapable of running W10, then you could use open source software such as Linux-based Ubuntu, of Xubuntu, all great software.
