upgrade xp to windows 10?

No, you have to clean install 10. An upgrade is not possible.

You *could* upgrade XP to Vista, then Vista to 7, then 7 to 8.1, then 8.1 to 10, but I strongly recommend against doing that. Beside the expense of buying all those versions, doing multiple upgrades in a row like that is just looking for trouble.

Also, if you want to go to 10, you should first make sure that your hardware is compatible with 10. There's a good chance that an XP-era computer is *not* compatible with 10.,

Hi old timerls,

I'm glad to help you today in this matter.

For your issue, Microsoft doesn’t offer a direct upgrade path but it’s still possible to upgrade your PC running Windows XP to Windows 10. Before going through the upgrade process, you’ll need to make sure your computer is compatible with Windows 10 requirements.

Can I have a look on your Windows XP PC specs?

First thing to do is to make sure that you have the correct system requirements and that your Computer Manufacturer supplies the correct Drivers for 10 for your Model Number.

"Windows 10 System Requirements"

https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/3884/windows-10-system-requirements

https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-10-specifications#sysreqs

If you read those Microsoft's system requirements for 10, you will find that if you only go on them you will be sadly disappointed in performance.

For reasonable performance should have at least:

2 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor.

4 gigabyte (GB) of RAM for 32-bit or 8 GB for 64-bit

500GB hard drive

DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
