Just go straight to 8.1 and set the boot to desktop option.
Right click the taskbar, go to properties, change the option on the navigation tab.
When on the new Start screen, find the apps you use a lot, right click them and pin them to the taskbar.

My work (Dignity Health) has all XP - they reload it on Win 7/8 hardware they are buying. This also means that Internet Explorer is stuck at IE 8, which means that many websites and web based utilities don't function. All this so that all the old CHW stuff works.... Maybe their IT is good enough to keep distributing patches internally.

The problem isn't that Microsoft just quits distributing stuff, it's that they aren't writing any more patches to distribute in the first place.
I am trying to get my planning done for this, the workstation in the company are more than half 8.1, with a few 8s and 7s around, but some of our POS systems are still running XP based stuff, so all of that has to be flipped.
