    I can think of ${10choose 8}=45$ for starters. That is, the $8$-cycles. But there are surely others. Oh yeah, you can change their order. So, multiply by $8!$?

Hint:



The order of a permutation decomposed as a product of disjoint cycles is the l.c.m. of the orders of the cycles, i.e. the l.c.m. of the lengths of the cycles.

An element of $S_{10}$ has order $8$ iff its cycle type is $(8,1,1)$ or $(8,2)$.



There are are ${10choose 8}cdot7!$ of type $(8,1,1)$. There are ${10choose 8}cdot 7!$ of type $(8,2)$.



Together we get $900cdot7!$



If $sigma$ is one of them, $langlesigma rangle $ is cyclic of order $8$. Therefore there are two proper subgroups, of orders $2$ and $4$, other than ${e}$.
