Skywatcher AZ GTI Mount upgrade

Recent purchase due to incredible portability and using with ED80.
I have been trying to update the firmware via Skywatcher motor control updates, which is only able to be updated using Windows.
I have an old laptop using Windows 8.1, since I’m usually using a Mac.
I have downloaded the Skywatcher APP for Windows which loads.
I can connect to the inbuilt WIFI for this according to the Windows Control Panel.
But.....when I try the update software, it is unable to connect to any device. When I try to operate the AZ-GTI from the laptop...it won’t connect.

Since I am not a regular Windows user, could this be due to Windows 8.1, and should be using Windows 10?

I can connect to the mount with Android phone and iPad without any problem, but I can’t use these to upgrade the firmware. Does anyone have any advice?
