Can't Directly Upgrade XP to Windows 7; use Easy Transfer
There's no in-place upgrade for XP to Win7. You'll need to use Windows Easy Transfer for your files & settings, and get ready to reinstall all your apps.
Now, you can still install Win7 on a PC running XP; it's just going to be a clean install of Windows into a new directory so you have a fresh user profile with nothing preserved in it.
You can jump through the WIndows Easy Transfer hoops to bring your files & settings back. But get ready to reinstall all your apps.
And if you have a netbook, check out the next picture in this set for a very unpleasant surprise!
