So I my PC has been upgraded to XP, but it was done as a complete re-install, so I had to install all new applications. The reading I've been doing leads me to believe that I shouldn't install my copy of 5 and do the upgrades. Is there a way to go directly to v8 without buying a new copy?

Not unless you buy it. I have not had a problem installing older versions on XP and going through the patch upgrades. Just don't use it before you finish the upgrades - just install your old version and run the upgrades first all the way up to R9. Then try using it.
