The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor run from XP will let you know what issues the PC faces to run Win7.

Note that if you boot the installer while XP is still on the PC it will pass a flag allowing use of Upgrade version Product Key, even if you then go on (as you should) to use the Drive Options in Steps 7/8 to delete all partitions to get the cleanest Clean Install Windows 7.

Then you have the option to use Product Key for Full, Upgrade or OEM retail versions of Win7 as long as they are for Home Premium
