Can anyone help in WinXP/Win8.1 update?

Hi, I hope someone could help me with a possible upgrade of Windows XP Win8.1.  I ran the upgrade of Windows 8 Wizard and he told me almost instantly that "this platform is not supported" and gives no clue about all the problems.  I checked the system requirements and my PC seems to meet the minimum requirements, then I would be grateful for any advice that can be offered to solve this problem.

My system components are:

-AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000 +.

-4 GB of RAM

-Lots of space drive (2 TB, RAID 0 + 1) - space usable 1 TB HARD drive.  System drive (c :)) is on another partition of 30 GB.

-Card graphics GeForce 7950GT - just installed the latest NVIDIA drivers (I think!), but not sure WDDM.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

OK, last comment from me on this thread.  I successfully upgraded to Win XP SP3 for Windows 8.1.  Despite the 8.1 Windows Upgrade Assistant stating 'this platform supprted no' 8.1 installation went completely smoothly - so not hardware issues at all.

For anyone who stumbles across this thread...

When you try to upgrade XP to Win 8, "This platform not supported" means that you are not running XP service pack 3.  See "Tip #4"--> here http://www.zdnet.com/8-lessons-learned-from-upgrading-a-dog-slow-xp-machine-to-windows-8-7000021125/
