I want to upgrade my laptop from win xp pro sp2 to win 8 pro.  I have attempted to do this online and am told the upgrade is not supported.  I assume thlis is because I need to get to win xp pro sp3.  However, when I attempt to run Windows Update to see

what updates are outstanding, I get the message that I cannot go to that web page with error 0x80240036.  In other words I cannot update my xp pro beyond where it currently is, sp2.
