Unless they did some surprising changes (uh, wait... we're talking about 
Windows 8, right? >_<) the regular POV-Ray for Windows binaries should 
do the job, but whether it'll be 32 or 64 bit depends on the CPU of 
course: If it's a 64-bit one (which I'd consider very likely these 
days), you should be fine with the 64-bit POV-Ray version (presuming 
that the installed Windows 8 version matches the CPU); otherwise the 
32-bit version will have to do.

How about some expression of deep sympathy? ;-)
