Default Can Windows 10 be installed on XP if Windows 7 isn't installed yet?

The plan is to update a WinXP machine and a Win8 machine.
First step is downloading the Win10 ISOs (32 and 64 bit).
Then burning the ISO files to DVD media.
Then updating the Windows 8 machine.
Then updating the WinXP to Win7SP1 using the retail box,
and then updating to Windows 10 using the burned DVD.

Does this plan make sense operationally?
Note: The Win8 machine is away at college so it will be done
on the weekend.


Like winston says:

- the media must be run from within the qualifying o/s
