The OS was originally a free update to Windows 8 users who were stuck in the bug-laden operating system.

Some called it another Vista but it was a giant leap ahead for Microsoft that didn’t exactly pan out as expected, so they shipped 8.1 to undo the damage. It continues to be supported with the recent update for it being shipped in January of this year so you will be covered against exploits and instability bugs.

And if you are not particularly a fan of Windows 10/11 then you can download Windows 8.1 files for free through their official servers. Then install it on your computer and continue with work or college projects.
