Yes you can. Just select Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight) instead of Blank App (Windows Phone) and select the target windows phone OS version to 8.0. You're done. Refer the below image for more information.

My old Dell laptop os is vista.
Just wonder if it is possible to develop windows phone 8/8.1 app on vista?
Your comment welcome
Seems to be impossible. I've tried to develop win phone 8 on Win7, Visual Studio told me that I should update to Win8
You can't develop because it need minimum windows 8
I am aware that there are several changes between Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with regards to mobile development.
Before I upgrade to Windows 10, I'd like to make sure that I can still develop Windows Phone 8.1 from a Windows 10 PC with VS2013 (Update 5).
Can anyone advise if I will have problems developing 8.1 phone apps with Windows 10?
TIA
You can still develop Windows Phone 8.1 apps (both Runtime or Silverlight) on Windows 10 with either Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015 (I'd recommend upgrading to the latter).
Here's a quick snip of Windows Phone 8.1 projects in VS2015 on Windows 10:

I have been through How to get started with windows phone SDK 8.1?
, but no luck.
Its ok if anyone wants to down vote. But please help me get through the installation. :)
You need Visual Studio 2013 update 2 or later. You can download the latest free version here:
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update 3
To run it you need at least Windows 8.1.
If you want to use the emulators, you need Windows 8.1 Pro x64, but if you have a physical Windows phone 8.1 device, you can use it to test your apps, instead of the emulators
First of all for windows phone 8/8.1 you would be needed to have windows 8.1 (x64)Operating System, Then you should check for whether your System is Supporting Hyper-v and SLAT or not.
To check for Hyper-V and SLAT, You can have Refrence from here Does my processor support Hyper-V : Coreinfo
If you have Hyper-V and SLAT, you are ready with Devlopment for windows phone 8/8.1.
for Development of windows phone 8/8.1 You would be needed to install Visual Studio 2013 with update 2 or later. here is a download link for Express 2013 for Windows that can be used for windows, windows phone as well as for Universal Apps.
for windows phone 8.1 emulators, you can download them from here windows phone 8.1 emulators
Is it possible to work application, which developed for 8.1 OS, in Phone which have 8.0 OS?
As far as I know you can't. You could only deploy 8.1 apps on a device which is updated to 8.1. It's just a matter of updating the 8 OS. But after the 8.1 update you could still deploy WP8 apps too.

I recently updated my Visual Studio 2013 such now it allows to develop Windows Phone 8.1 applications.
But now, when I create a Windows Phone project, it is systematically for WP 8.1 and I can't change the target.
The only way I found in order to develop WP 8.0 apps it's to create Silverlight Windows Phone project.
Whence my question : What's the concrete difference between Windows Phone project and Silverlight Windows Phone projet in Visual Studio 2013 ?
Thanks for any answer
The Windows Phone project uses the Windows Runtime APIs. A lot of the Windows Runtime API introduced in Windows Phone 8 project is common to both Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, making it easier to write once and share code between your apps on both platforms.
As expected the Windows Phone Silverlight project uses the Silverlight based APIs.
