Hello,
I have a FT-70D and I would like to connect to PC and try FT8 mode on 2m.
Is it possible? If yes how to do it?

You'll need a 2M transceiver with SSB mode to be able to do FT8. The FT-70D has FM and System Fusion but no SSB. However, you should be able to use Winlink via VARA FM (assuming a Winlink gateway in range) or APRS / packet with an appropriate interface and software. Several interface options are out there... this one looks interesting -
