Downgrade IE 11 to IE 8
-
From Wikipedia: Effective January 12, 2016, Internet Explorer 8 is no longer supported on any version of Windows, due to new policies specifying that only the newest version of IE available for a supported version of Windows will be supported.
-
IE8 was never released for Windows 8 or later. I'm not sure it will run there. It was definitely never supported there.
-
Windows 8 was released with IE 10, Windows 8.1 was released with IE 11.
To the best of my memory, you've never been able to downgrade an OS below what came with the OS.But do you really need IE 8 or can IE just lie to the website in question about being IE 8?
Try adding the site to the Compatibility list. By default it will lie to the site and say it's on IE 7. If you need IE 8 specifically there are ways to manually force that, I think.
-
Best option to use IE 8 is use Google Chorme and the extension called IE Tab.
IE Tab allow you to emulate all the Internet Explorer versions without install Internet Explorer.

You have your answer already. That link is not related to the conversation.

I have answer which is working in the test laptop but in user laptop access denied is shown.The user has admin access

Are you still trying to uninstall IE 11 from Windows 8? Fine, you can sorta do that - all you're doing it pulling the IE exe out of the system basically. But that won't allow you to install IE 8 on that computer.

Exactly - your test is completely invalid. IE 8 came with Windows 7. Meaning you can install IE 8 on Windows 8. You can not install IE 8 on Windows 8.

The windows 8 machine is tried with uninstalling by regedit,host entry,system32 any other method
-
You're not understanding - you can't install IE 8 directly on Windows 8 or 8.1 it can't be done.
You do have a few choices.
As I mentioned before you should try compatibility mode first - google it, there are tons of options.
additionally, you could install VirtualBox and install Windows 7 inside that, and the default that it comes with is IE 8 - and you're done.
of course legally, you'll need to purchase another Windows license to do this.

But the user needs here to install in it for his URL access.He is informing us to do that now
