A direct upgrade is not possible. However, you are eligible to purchase an upgrade edition of Windows 7 at the reduced cost. You can then use Windows Easy Transfer to backup all of your files and settings, perform a clean installation of Windows 7, restore your files/settings, and reinstall all of your programs. Unfortunately, that's the only way as Microsoft chose not to support upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, only Windows Vista to Windows 7.
