However, XP does not support an Upgrade Install. You must use the Custom (Clean) Install option, which means that all of the installed software programs will be lost and you will need to reinstall all of these software programs. See the following tutorial for the installation instructions. Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 (Custom Installation) Regards, Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP
