You have to have 1MB Of RAM and for home premium you need 16 GB Of Disk Space and for Professional and Ultimate you need 20 GB Of Disk Space. Then backup your files on a external drive and then upgrade it. So if you have a Compaq like me and it says 512 or something technically you can't. For Hard Drive I would have you have a 500 GB Drive Or Something because I have a IBM and the Hard Drive I found was 2GBS And You Can't Put Much On It :)

∙ 13y agoYou can't upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly without using external tools or software- you must do a clean install.
What you can do is use tools like Zinstall XP7 to move all programs and files, or Windows Easy Transfer to move only the files and settings- from Windows XP to Windows 7.
These tools makes the migration much easier then simply re-installing everything and copying it to Windows 7 from scratch.
