How to emulate IE8 environment?

Question

I'm developing asp.net website on IE10/Windows 8 + VS2012

Users noticed some artifacts and they use IE8. If I use F12 tools and set site to IE8 I don't see it. I need real IE8 for dev/test/

How do I emulate it properly?

Tip for who is using WIndows 10: By default you get MS Edge on your taskbar, and not IE. Just open a website on Edge, go to settings in the right top, and choose "Open with Internet Explorer" You can then pin the new IE window to open it straight next time. Only on this IE window you can choose to emulate other IE versions.
