*From what I understand you cannot activate this version of Windows normally as it isn't distributed in retail or OEM channels, but I link you to it so you at least have legit media to install with.*

Also you will be able to copy files across from the XP partition, but it will more than likely be limited to just your personal files. Others such as Program Files will not usually work as programs write into the registey during installation, so any old programs will need to be reinstalled when you decided to stick with 7.
