Answer

To upgrade from winxp to win7 requires a clean install, it may or may not create a windows.old folder.

If you have no data backups there is allways a risk of data loss

I would first check that your hardware supports win7 (check with the hardware makers, not the win7 compatibility advisor)

Did this solve your problem?

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for marking this as the answer.
