Using Sitecore 8.2 Update 6, when I install SOLR 5.1, it updates the JAVA_HOME environment variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_171, but I haven't got version installed (and doesn't seem to be available on the SUN website).
I have 1.8.0_131 installed and would like to use that. Is that possible?
I don't want to just update the ENV Variable as this causes me other issues :(
According to Solr 5.1 documentation:
Apache Solr runs of Java 7 or greater, Java 8 is verified to be compatible and may bring some performance improvements. When using Oracle Java 7 or OpenJDK 7, be sure to not use the GA build 147 or update versions u40, u45 and u51! We recommend using u55 or later.

Yes, you can continue with java 1.8.0_131.
I don't know how you installed Solr that it updated JAVA_HOME variable, but you can switch it back.
