Novice questioner here. You said your XP in now running Windows7. How did you do that? Did you just buy a Windows7 disk and install it on your computer?
And what happened to all the programs, files, etc. that you had on that computer? Does a Windows7 install wipe everything clean?

Not if your XP is running as a virtual guest on your W7 system.

I bought an upgrade disc (3 user) but did a clean install on a new drive. You do have to reinstall your programs if you do it that way but the only program that I could not install was my old MS Office 97 (it can't be installed on any later versions of windows - they want you to buy newer Office). My files were still on the old drive but after I installed the programs I could move the files over.
