Is there still any reasonable way to upgrade from XP? I intended to upgrade to Windows 8 a few years ago on an ancient machine, only to find that Microsoft had eliminated the upgrade, and now you seem to need to buy a new copy of Windows for an old computer AND reinstall everything.

I doubt it. I think the upgrade path is supposed to be XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 10.
You can upgrade, it'll just have to be a clean install.
