This document discusses different methods for upgrading a Windows XP computer to Windows 7 and determines that using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT 2010) to automate the migration process with applications and drivers installed is the best option. MDT 2010 provides tools to build a bootable USB deployment stick that can migrate all user data, settings, and applications from Windows XP to Windows 7 with minimal manual effort required. While it was previously thought impossible to directly upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, this document shows that a customized installation using MDT 2010's automation capabilities makes the upgrade process straightforward.
