Purchased Windows 8 download but it won't install by product key method- Windows XP to Windows 8

Purchased a digital copy of the new Windows 8 ap and tried to install per instructions for those wishing to use only a product key, but no luck - dead in the water. Because my computer is running old Windows XP Pro, I searched the community forum for answers
before buying online, because running the Update Assistant gave me an error message: 'this platform not supported'. Microsoft's page for ordering Windows 8 states I can upgrade Windows XP to Windows 8, so I was confused about the error message.
I found a number of threads online regarding this issue, and read through all, in an effort to understand precise steps for upgrading XP Pro to Windows 8. These steps included -

Windows vs Mac

I have a MacBook Pro from work so I can work in both Operating systems. To make a long story short- I set it up as a dual boot WITHOUT Bootcamp. I found the drivers for Windows 7 in the usual places.
So I got wondering.. here I have OS10.6 and Windows7 on the same machine..which is faster? I got Novabench since it was cross platform and ran the tests.
Both OS's are clean installs and stable. The tests were run on a fresh boot with no other programs operating. This test is apples to apples (pun intended).
So who won? Windows 7 32bit
Windows bench score: 375
Snow Leopard score: 326
Here's the breakdown: CPU:
Windows clocked the core2Duo at 2333 MHz, Mac ran it at 2330MHz Floating point operations:
Windows: 50,802,612/sec
Mac: 36,516,028/se

Windows XP Compatibility Mode missing on a fresh install of Windows 8?
location:

December 8, 2012
So, I just did a fresh install of Windows 8 Professional (got a nasty little bug that was wasting resources left and right) and came to notice, this time around, Windows XP Compatibility Mode is now missing from my options in the list. It's required to
use a program I use often and, before the reinstall, the program worked without a problem (obviously when I had it set to compatibility mode). Is there a way to bring back XP compatibility mode in Windows 8? I should add, the previous install was an upgrade
from Windows 7 to Windows 8.

Cannot connect my Google Nexus 7 tablet to my Windows XP computer via USB
location:

July 23, 2012
When i plug it in, the tablet lists that it connected, and the "Found new Hardware Wizard" pops up on my desktop, but i cannot see the tablet on "my computer". When i switch to "PTP" mode instead of "MTP" I can see the tablet on my computer, but PTP mode
doesn't work for file transfer. I contacted Google support and they said there is nothing that they can do to help me, and that I should contact the Microsoft forums to see if there is an MTP driver fix. I already have WMP 11, and I also already reinstalled
the MTP porting kit. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!

Windows XP forever

You're still talking about something different pseudoid, though it does indeed make it easier, I have mine integrated into the context menu; never happens without my call though.
As far as UAC goes, first or second thing I disable, nothing but a nuisance to me. So backhauling that to XP, only reason to stop using it as far as malware is concerned is if you have a history of getting malware. It's plenty secure behind a router otherwise. In other words, XP will sit there connected to the Internet for Eternity and not get infected; a user can continue that trend or hit it like the tidal wave that struck Japan. The user is the overwhelming deciding factor but I fear that will always fall on mostly deaf ears since we want to think in terms of s

Ok I'm tryin 8, been usin 7...they both work ok , are popular, lots of software...but on noting i got 8 32-bit instead of 8 64-bit by accident, did note i'm again using gpl software by 'feature list comparison' despite ms getting billions of dollars and ubuntu almost nothing in comparison including all other gpl authors...
7zip is another one I use 'gpl irrelevantly' , and am kinda torn on gimp vs. photoshop...i'm used to one, but it's a patent monopoly right ? is why there aren't tons of those '2d image editors' like how there's tons of 'wolfenstein 3d clones ?' and operating system clones too, ms was permitted to make an os, and others were allowed to too, they even sold their code to ibm who then made.... os/2 , just like windows, exce
