Upgrade to Windows 8?

Best solution

Considering there was no direct upgrade path from XP to win7, I'd assume the same is true of windows 8. If this is the case, you will need to do a clean install of win8.

According to this it should be doable as long as you know your win xp key.

If your computer was working, I'd recommend running the win 8 upgrade assistant first.
