Did you even try to google it first?

For so many questions I answer, all I do is run a Google query and tell people what other people have figured out for me and you.

The 0xc000007b error is not an unknown one on Windows 8 and it seems comes from some DirectX issue it seems and since SFML's DLLs depend in some way on the DXInput, it can cause a bit of trouble.
Did you install DirectX after upgrading? Windows 8 comes with DX support by default, so an manual install of DirectX should not be necessary.

Someone posted this:

Delete this files from "C:\Windows\System32" "xinput1_1.dll", "xinput1_2.dll", "xinput1_3.dll"... all xinput1_*.dll and run "dxwebsetup.exe" again - thats all! I had the same problem and nothing helped, and now everything works as expected, and the error is gone!

Before you do that, I recommend you update your system (maybe move to Win 8.1), make sure that the VC redist are installed (if your application is built with Visual Studio) and restart your PC.

Thank you for your Answer.
Yes i've googled bevor i've posted.
Already updated to Windows 8.1 and i didnt installed dirextX (but i can play steam games)
VC redist is installed.

I'll try to delete these files.

EDIT: Didn't worked for me :/
