Hello , sorry for bad title I couldn't find better one xd

I've recenlty Installed XAMPP new version with PHP 8 version on a different folder and now I have 3 XAMPP with 3 different php versions (because I should have)

but after installing php 8 and adding the route to windows envoirments , my old project which is laravel 5 is not running because it's using php 8 instead of 7 (because of envoirments)

what can I do to fix this? upgrading laravel version is my last choice so please give other advices :D
