The relevant documentation is here: https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/wiki/Advanced-Debugging#remote-debugging-on-windows-azure

A list of steps detailing the remote debugging of node.js in azure does not mention that Windows 8 is required, so that only on the final step of attaching to the process is the user informed by a dialogue:
Remote debugging of node.js Microsoft Azure applications is only supported on Windows 8 and above.

This should be specified near the beginning of the section.

Additionally, why is Windows 8 required?

Agreed, we should document this better. The reason it only works for 8+ is because we use web sockets for Azure remote debugging, which unfortunately depends on a component only shipped in Windows 8+
