Are you running PHP 5.x on your machine (not xampp)? Open a console/terminal and run php -v to see the version.
Also try cd c:\xampp\php and run php -v to see what version of PHP is installed on xampp.

I have xampp installed. I copied a laravel project from one computer to another, and when I go composer install it gives me php version erros. I installed the right xampp version and I have php 8, but it is saying I have php 5 when It's not true. What could be the problem?

XAMPP can have more than one version of PHP. Go to XAMPP and switch to the latest PHP version available

@kris01 the other obvious thing to check is to see if your XAMPP PHP directory is in your path.
