What is the direct link on the SolidWorks site to purchase 2018 student license?
Did you make purchase of wrong software and then check the OS requirements only after making the purchase?

It does indicate the 2018 EDU Version should work in Windows 8.1
OP stated Windows 8 - maybe not updated to 8.1
Vincent Klein - are you running Windows 8 or 8.1?
I don't know why 8 would be that different for SWX from 8.1 - but version 8 was a problematic bad release to begin with.

I can't find a link to purchase a student license for 2018...
i alwasy though student version u can only have on that's in current academic year - which i guess it would be 2019/2020...
But I can't use it with Windows 8. With Windows 7 and 10, we can use all. But wit Windows 8, we must use solidworks 2018 I dont know why. But I tried wit solidworks 2019 and 2020 but it don't work.
Upgrade to Win10 (you can still do so for free) https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Find the Solidworks.exe file and right click on the file (NOT left click), go to the Properties Tab, Find the tab for Compatibility, then select the box to run as Windows 7. That might work.
You might also have to do that for some of the other files as well, such as the Solidworks_FS (fast start- this is what actually starts the Solidworks program when clicking on it's icon or a drawing, part, assembly... file.)
I wrote a more detailed post of how to do this yesterday in the post
I don't think you can.
Where did you make this purchase?
