Apache SOLR 9.4 Java Version [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to run SOLR 9.4 on a machine

I have java version 1.8.0_391 installed

JAVA_HOME is set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_331

java -version gives the following:

java version "1.8.0_391"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_391-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.391-b26, mixed mode, sharing)

When I run bin\solr start

I get the following exception

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/solr/cli/SolrCLI has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

ERROR: Solr did not start or was not reachable. Check the logs for errors.

What version of java needs to be installed?
