Hi suyash091, you can not upgrade from Windows xp, directly to windows 7. you will get an error message that upgrading from window XP to Windows 7 is not available. Windows 7 does not provide an "direct-in-place "upgrade for windows XP. you can only do custom (clean) install. so you must backup all your files to an external hard disk, of cd/dvd disks. or there is one work around. first, upgrade your Windows XP to windows Vista, then finally upgrade to Windows 7
