You said your laptop came preinstalled with XP, therefore, you would need to purchase a license in order to activate Win7 on it.  That license will come with a key that you need to enter manually to activate Win7.

 

This thread shows different ways to activate Win7:  http://www.wikihow.com/Activate-Windows-7

Good Luck
