Upgrade
Windows XP to Windows 7 using third party tools
Using Microsoft products
There is no upgrade path provided by Microsoft to upgrade from XP to Windows 7. If you
want to follow that path only way is to upgrade XP to corresponding version of Vista and
then upgrade Vista to corresponding version of Windows 7.
For example if you have Windows XP professional, you need to upgrade to Windows Vista
Business (or Ultimate) and then Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional . If you have
upgraded to Vista Ultimate you need to purchase Windows 7 Ultimate. This is an expensive
process, considering the cost of the software you need to purchase for the intermediate
steps.
If you are happy to reinstall all the software on the new PC, then the guide provided
by www.pcworld.com
may be a good read. Use the Windows
Easy transfer tool provided by Microsoft to transfer the data to a safe location
first. Once you have installed Windows 7 read the Microsoft tutorial on "Upgrading
from Windows XP to Windows 7"
Using third party tools
We have tried several commercial tools with limited success. If you want to give them a
try just make sure there is some local contact number available. You don't want to be
paying international telephone call rates to listen to "Your call is important to us
messages".
Commercial tools available.
