    Hi

    Sorry but dont really understand what your question is here, if you have a PC that is running XP and its working fine for your needs then great keep using it, but do make sure you keep it updated.

    If you have bought Windows 7 to use on that PC, then do first off make sure that the PC in question can actually run Windows 7 ok and use the Upgrade Advisor HERE to test the PC for any issues you may encounter, drivers are a big issue with older PCs as you may not find some available. But Windows 7 is a great version and if a PC can run it I would always advise that as the best option, unless you have old applications you crucially need, then stick with XP.

    (only way around having both is to dual boot Windows 7 and XP or if you have Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional or Enterprise versions is to run XP Mode HERE)

    SO a bit more information on what you are asking is needed to give you a better reply and answer to your question?
