I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3 and want to install Windows 8.1 Pro VL.
If I choose Update option while installing, that can move files, settings and applications to Windows 8, so can I install by this option, given that I have Windows XP SP3?

If I'm following you correctly, you want to perform an in-place upgrade of XP to Windows 8.1.
This is not supported.
From Microsoft:
To upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows Vista or Windows XP, you'll need to install it from a Windows 8.1 DVD and perform a clean installation. This means you won't be able to keep any files, settings, or programs when you upgrade.
