You can but the only thing that will be preserved would be your personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos. You will have to reinstall all of your programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe photoshop, etc. So you can upgrade to Windows 8 from XP but the only thing you can keep will be personal files.

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

Yes, it will give you the option to upgrade from a previous Windows edition (which will let you keep all your documents and personal media) in the installation menu. You may also wipe your hardrive and make a fresh install as well.

Yes you will need to replace the memory installed to upgrade to higher memory. Be sure it is compatible!! Once done go to setup let it recognize the new memory and boot to windows.

No, but if you want to transfer your existing operating system with files and programs intact - a transfer kit is the easiest way to accomplish this. If you are doing a clean install than you do not need the transfer kit, but you will have to reinstall windows- hopefully if this is your intent than you will need a windows installation disk or the manufacturers recovery software

No, you'll need to use the CAD program in XP Mode. The "Anytime Upgrade" doesn't "install" anything. It activates features that are inactive until the key is entered. If you have 64 bit, it stays 64 bit.

Normally no. Without knowing any details of your hardware/software it is difficult to make a determination. Make sure your Vista is up to date, run the Microsoft compatibility check, turn off any AntiVirus/AntiMalware software, make a full backup of all your data, list your installed software and run the upgrade. Follow the prompts. It takes a while :)

Yes, it can transfer between any versions of Windows from XP through 8.1 (XP, Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1).

Windows 7 is fine, tested and proven. I don't think XP will be a problem since it runs in 7.

You can have a 8 GB of RAM with a 64 bit system or 4 GB of RAM with the 32 Bit system and run windows 7 Just fine. You must do a new installation so purchase a (32 or 64 Bit) Full version of windows 7.If you right click on "My Computer" and choose the "Properties" you will see what you have, (64 or 32 Bit) Windows 7 will not allow you to upgrade from windows XP.

The system builder is really for installing on blank machines. If you already have XP, you should just get the upgrade version, which is cheaper anyway.

You can upgrade, but you will lose your system settings and programs. This is assuming you have an x64 system. Honesty I would recommend backing up your personal data and any paid programs serials codes to an external drive and do a fresh install. Without ever using Win7 you will have to get used to the transitions to Win8. Last of all, if you have an older PC, it might be worth while to upgrade to a new x64 system that comes with Win8. You would surprised how much $500 can get you. Hope this was helpful. Feel free to reply with any other questions.

Sort of. Windows 7 Upgrades are designed for Windows Vista, keeping your files and programs in place. If you have XP, you will not be able to perform that same type of upgrade directly. Instead, you can do what is called a "Clean Install" which will move your files to a Windows.old folder, but you will need to install all of your programs again. I'd also like to point out that you cannot use this Anytime Upgrade to go from XP to Win7. This product is strictly to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium; if you do not currently have Windows 7 Starter installed, then this product will be of no use. Try searching for "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade" as that includes the DVDs so you can do the Clean Install.

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card. Otherwise, you can damage your system.
