Microsoft DOES NOT offer a direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7 as shown below:

What Microsoft offer is either Windows Easy Transfer or XP Mode. However these have limitations and specific hardware / operating system requirements.

XP Mode requires Hardware Assisted Virtualisation (HAV) and can only work on Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise.
