Is it possible to upgrade XP to Windows 10?

No. If your machine has the minimum specs for W10 you can buy it for £99.

No. (You can't even directly upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 or 8).

The only way you can get an XP computer to load Windows 10 is to wipe everything off it, pay for Windows 10 and start again.

Even then you might have problems though, as computers running XP are unlikely to have sufficient memory to run Windows 10. (Officially you need 2Gb but the technical press are recommending a minimum of 4Gb if you don't want Windows 10 to run very slowly).

You could also have problems with there being no Windows 10 drivers for older hardware (and/or with the speed of the processor in your computer).

If I'd still got a computer running XP (and I was still in my usual impecunious state), I'd forget about Windows 10 and get myself a cheap refurbished Windows 7 computer from here:

(which is where my present refurbished Window 7 computer came from. I can't recommend that supplier highly enough - excellent products and service).

No.

You would need to purchase a Windows 10 license and perform a fresh installation to replace XP.

Windows 10 is available to download from the following link but after a trial installation period of 30 days you require purchase of an activation license to continue using it fully. http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Thanks hc and Chris for your help.
I don't really need another one. I have my iPad. Main PC and my old xp laptop.
It's just that OH is in the middle of updating his and I wondered if I could too.
I really only use laptop if I have a problem with iPad.
