Hi,

I had the same issue several years ago when upgrading an Leica TCS NT  
to XP. Leica Service said "not possible", but I think they just wanted  
to sell us a new system... So I upgraded it myself and it was working  
fine with XP (but not with W2k for some unknown reason).

So, just try it out! Make a backup of your hard disks, and from within  
your running XP start an upgrade to Win Vista, then to Win 7.

:-) Torsten
