I thought that you need XP SP3. Do you have that?

The upgrade is not tied to the PC that you use to request it, and you can ask to create an iso.

Whether you get the 32 or 64 bit versions depends on what you are running when you request the download, though AIUI this is being changed.

AFAIK, Windows XP SP3 isn't out for 64 Bit yet. Only a clean install is the solution - but the user can't download it from wizard. My recommendation is, to order install media that should contain 32 and 64 bit DVD. But you should be sure, that your hardware is good for 64 bit Win 8 Pro (signed 64 bit drivers)
