Why do I have to pay to upgrade windows xp to windows 7?

Windows XP is an operating system Windows 7 is another operating system entirely, so you have to buy Windows 7 or an upgrade to upgrade from Windows XP (if your computer is able to upgrade that is).

It's the same system for the majority of software manufacturers. A new version, then an upgrade is required that you pay.

Before you buy your upgrade to Windows 7, make sure that you run the first upgrade advisor to see if you can actually run Windows 7.
