Get Windows 8.1 64 bit OEM unless it's being used for business and you need the extra features Pro offers like Remote Desktop Connection etc...

Yes, just put the disc in your CD/DVD drive and boot from it.

The fine print from your link:
"Important: Windows 8.1 Pro full version is for Windows 7 users only."

That is an upgrade. Not a full install.
