XP or 7 on a new mini??

[WilliamBos]

Hi all, I have a legit copy of XP, and would like to know if I can install XP in bootcamp, and then upgrade to 7 from XP??

I get a serious discount through work on 7 Ultimate upgrade, and would like to give 7 a try in bootcamp.

Thanks in advance.

I think W7 is the way to go these days.

No need. Install W7 Upgrade using the old double install workaround or the registry modification described here: http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media
