Best VPN for Windows 8.1?

Sorry if this has already been discussed. (If so, please direct me to those discussions.) My background:

  • I have an older–but still very powerful–desktop PC (Dell XPS). It does everything I need.

  • Have used Windows 8.1 forever and like it.

  • Have tried Windows 10 and DON’T like it.

  • Windows Defender (for 8.1) is still receiving regular security updates.

  • Have used (and paid annually for) ExpressVPN for a number of years without problems. Works well for me.

  • I have Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) disabled and various browser internal settings adjusted for enhanced security, by the way.

  • But now ExpressVPN is ceasing support for Windows 8.1 and will no longer providing VPN updates if the Windows 8.1 OS is used.

  • I see no real, legitimate reason for for this decision (by Express VPN)–and by Microsoft for that matter–except greed. I am not thrilled with the idea of continuing to pay ExpressVPN for what I regard as a poor decision.

So,…Can you recommend a decent VPN that will still support Windows 8.1?

Thanks for any (legitimate) suggestions.

Express vpn is trash and a thief of your personal information just like many vpn’s out there you should abandon ship and instead use these vpn’s bellow:

1-Proton vpn
2-windscribe
3-geph vpn

They are all concentrated on privacy of the user specially proton and windscribe which practically are the only vpn providers that don’t sell your data and give u plenty of options to protect yourself.

Btw move away from 8.1 many other services are closing shop for 8.1 due to technical matters, it’s a light os and i love it too but it’s over, use 10 or 11 and you will see small improvements across the os that will make the pain of transition tolerable.
