That's because you literally cannot upgrade from XP to Win 7. You can only upgrade from Vista. You can however, migrate from XP to Win 7.

Of course, that means you have to transfer your user account and data (Windows Easy Transfer will do this) and then reinstall all your applications onto the Windows 7 machine. It's actually not as hard as it sounds, LOL!

Try NewEgg. They have OEM verisions for $100.

Yeah. Migrate is what I mean. I always. ALWAYS do a clean install from scratch. I’ve also never owned a computer where I did not have the operating system and all other software discs. I’ve had to re-install windows and a few others. What the heck does someone do when they get a machine with no disc and the operating system gets corrupted?
