How To Upgrade from 32 Bit XP to Windows 7 32 bit
You can’t upgrade directly from Windows XP to Windows 7, so we will grab a copy of Windows Vista which will be installed briefly prior to the complete upgrade.
If you have an MSDN subscription you can download a copy of Windows Vista 32, you can also borrow a copy from someone. When you do the install don’t enter a serial number, and don’t check the “activate when connected to the Internet” check box during the Windows Vista Install.
After you have completed the Windows Vista Install, you will need to install Vista Service Pack 1.
You can now upgrade to Windows 7 and Activate it, so that you can run until the end of the beta.
The Windows 7 Beta will stop working on August 1, 2009. To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date.
