what sort of stuff?
what sort of veroboard planning?
Are you referring to the electronic use circuit board with many strips of copper and holes in?
If so have a google for verboard layout https://www.electroschematics.com/2270/veroboard-design-software/
I do recall an old program that allowed you to draw a schematic and it would give you a veroboard layout to follow.

TBH the use of Veroboard is generally a make it up as you go thing. I knew an engineer that would always make vero layouts to test the circuit before he handed me the schematic bits (multiple fag packet drawings) that needed jining together and laying out in a CAD package to make a proper board. He'd often be chopping and changing the vero tracks. starting again etc.
What sort of circuits are you trying to do on it?
You could get one of the free PCB layout packages (Eagle, Kicad etc.) and lay a better board out then order some PCB's for around a tenner at https://www.seeedstudio.com/fusion_pcb.html
As for the use of win8, try them on 7 anyway.

One thing to think about when prototyping on stripboard ( Veroboard ) is the capacitive coupling between adjacent tracks.
This stray coupling can affect the operation of prototypes that have high impedance circuits and/or high frequency circuits.
A working prototype of an analogue circuit was converted to PCB layout but the PCB layout did not work. Investigation found that the data sheet of an IC required a very small capacitor ( less than 10 pF ) between two pins for it to be stabile in it's operation. This component was ommitted ( by accident ) in the stripboard prototype but the necessary capacity was provided by 2 long tracks side by side and hence the prototype worked.

Have a look at Google, search for terms like "Breadboard planning software".
Comes back with things such as:

and so on.
