Will I be able to update when I install CS4 DP on Windows 8.1?

Hi,
My notebook was stolen. It had CS4 Design Premium installed on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
I bought a new notebook, but it comes with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
Will I be able to download updates after installing from the DVD?
I'm on a TLP license from the volume licensing website. (If that matters at all.)
Cheers,
Robert

Installation went OK.
There was a slight scare though when a window headed with "Installation Error" popped up telling me that "Adobe Flash CS4" failed to install.
I took the right decision to click "Continue" because it turned out to be that installation of the Flash Player 10 ActiveX Control failed. Not "Flash CS4".
Which would be weird anyway because the installer for "Flash CS4" is on the second installer DVD.
Then my original question (for which I started this topic) was answered :
You can not get updates through "Adobe Updater".
No automatic updates.
I updated "Adobe Updater" itself from version 6.0.1.1464 to version 6.2.0,1474, but that didn't make any difference.
So I had to go to the Adobe FTP server to download all updates manually (which I did over the past few days because I also have to download updates for Mac).
Especially Acrobat 9 Pro was a pig to download. And will also be a pig to install.
From the Adobe FTP server I could download updates for :
Adobe Updater
Acrobat Pro 9 (You only need to download all the quarterly updates. And then install them in the correct sequence.)
9.0.0 > 9.1.0 > 9.1.2 > 9.2.0 > 9.3.0 > 9.3.2 > 9.3.3 > 9.4.0 > 9.4.2 > 9.4.5 > 9.4.6 > 9.5.0 > 9.5.1 > 9.5.2 > 9.5.3 > 9.5.5

Indesign CS4
Photoshop CS4 (and Extended)
From the Macromedia site I could download updates for :
Fireworks CS4
Flash CS4 Pro
I could not find updates for :
Illustrator CS4 <===== This is a major showstopper for me. I use Illustrator most of all.
Dreamweaver CS4
Dreamweaver CS4 HTML5 and CSS3 Add-On pack
and others like LiveCycle (installed by Acrobat 9 Pro)
etc.
All in all I think that it is silly of Adobe to disable installation through Adobe Installer.
I understand that there will be no new upgrades, updates and patches, but why take the existing ones offline for the automatic updater?
And where are the updates for Illustrator CS4?
