The error message is self-explanatory, you need a 64bit OS (x64) but you are running a 32bit one (x86).
I think that the reason why this happens is because your VS2013 version is x86 and you downloaded the x64 version of WP8 SDK.
Try the following instead of downloading the SDK and manually installing it.
Right-Click on Start Button
Open Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
Click on it and Click Change.
Select Modify.
Choose the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK from there and click Update.

If I create a new UWP (Windows Universal App) and try to deploy it to any mobile emulator is fails with
"There were deployment errors. Continue?"
Investigating the output window and error list there is absolutely nothing there.
I can deploy the application when the target is Local Machine.
Hyper V has no virtual machines registered.
Any ideas?
the information you get "Hyper V has no virtual machines registered" suggest that your Hyper-V is disabled.
Try to type in coreinfo-v.exe in your cmd to find out.
Make sure that your processor supports Virtualization otherwise there is nothing you can do.:(
If you follow this link you will find quite a lot of information how to enable Hyper-V in your computer.
It's an article for Windows phone emulator 8.1 but still quite useful.

How do you make a Windows Phone 8.0 application with Visual Studio 2013?
Windows Phone 8.0 Project Template in VS2013.4
I've followed the above but when I hit next it automatically makes a 8.1 project. It prompted me once on if I wanted 8.0 or 8.1, but that prompt no longer appears.
EDIT: Creating a Blank App (Windows Phone) only creates an 8.1 app. Creating a Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight) gives an option of 8.0 and 8.1.
What's going on?
I haven't tried this but I think you need to install the sdk for Windows 8 separately. You can side by side install multiple OS versions in your Visual Studio to have a look that how your app would respond in windows 8 environment.
You then also need the respective emulator image too.
After some googling i have found a link, I personally haven't tried this ever but I hope this would be useful.
Windows Phone SDK archives
This link contains the SDK for Windows 8 and 7.5 along with their respective emulator images.
I have the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK on my dev pc installed together with VS 2013. I need to open some WP 8.0 projects in VS 2013, but I can't do that without having WP 8.0 SDK installed.
However, when I try to install it from the local ISO, I have the following installation error:
** Setup Blocked **
The product version that you are trying to set up is earlier than the version already installed on this computer.
Do I need to remove the WP 8.1 SDK just to install WP 8.0 SDK and then install WP 8.1 SDK again? Is this the only way, and will it really help?
It seems I need to install the older SDK as I cannot launch my WP 8.0 projects because of this error I get when I open them:
Modify the VS2013 install in "Program and Features" and select "Windows Phone 8.0 SDK".
Since the 8.1 came up with the Update 2 for Visual Studio, you should be able to open a WP8 application using VS 2013 8.1 update.

How to get started with windows phone SDK 8.1?
I'm going to learn to develop WP app. I installed Visual Studio 2013. VS 2013 have an option to install WP 8.0 SDK. And I knew the site (http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk) has a link to download WP 8.0 SDk. Help me about difference between them. Do I need to install them all for my purpose?
With Visual Studio 2013, there is no difference between these two methods of installing the WP8 SDK. It was added as an optional component when installing Visual Studio 2013 for convenience.
Be aware, it's not possible to develop for Windows Phone 7 (or open existing projects) with Visual Studio 2013 + WP8 SDK.
I have Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. I went to install the Windows 8 SDK, and it installed fine on one of my computers, on which I installed the SDK before installing the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1. But on my second computer, where I installed the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 before the SDK, I got the following error: KB2744908 Element not found.
Not sure if I would worry about this, or not.
I've attached a screenshot, so you can see the issue. Thanks!
It seems to have fixed itself. After rebooting and allowing the installer to finish after reboot, the SDK works fine. I have successfully created, edited, built, and deployed an application (albeit it was very simple) using the SDK.
