To work with Windows Phone 8 you need to have the relevant SDKs installed in Visual Studio. The Windows Phone 8 SDK only works on Windows 8 and higher, so you would need to upgrade from Windows 7 if you wish to use it.

The Windows Phone 8 SDK download page lists the system requirements.

If you are working with UWP, then the minimum requirement is Windows 10.
