There is no migration path from XP to Windows 7 so there is no way to cut down on installs. You need to byte the bullet and re-install everything. Actually, this is *exactly* what you want to do even if there was a migration path. Windows migrations are typically fraught with problems stemming from the fact that Windows, in general, is just a magnet for junk over time that makes it run slower and slower. You don’t want to carry that over. For any production machine, a complete format and re-install is always recommended.
