Windows xp easy upgrade?

How can I load on an old windows xp laptop windows 7 is there a cd that you push in and then download or how does that work? Ps I have no internet on the laptop

On an old xp laptop belongs, if at all, a slim linux distro. There's nothing more with windows.

Windows 7? Whose support ran out completely the days?

Ok how do you do that

What else will hardly run on it

Copy a Linux distribution onto a USB stick and boot the laptop with it. For example Linux Mint Xfce or Zorin OS Lite.

What hardware is built into the laptop? CPU, RAM, graphics?

A few punctuation marks would be helpful to make your question understandable. But no matter, there's no upgrade from XP to WIN7. You have to completely reinstall WIN7. But what for? Support for WIN7 ended this week. Jump on WIN10, even if it hurts. Everything else brings nothing more…

This is nonsense. It works very well.

It's best to install Ubuntu or something via USB stick or CD

The best thing is to watch tutorials on YouTube

"How to change my Operation System to Linux"

Or

"How to install Ubuntu on Windows laptop"

That is another topic. As someone wrote, Linux would be an alternative. Depends on the purpose.

Support for Windows 7 expired 4 days ago. If anything, you should install a simple Linux distribution.

I highly recommend Linux Mint. From Windows XP, it is not a major change.

The suggestion is meant nicely, but I wonder how you know that his laptop meets the minimum requirements of windows 10 32 bit? And even if the laptop contains 1 or even 2 GB of RAM, Windows 10 is unlikely to deliver acceptable performance.

Nothing is nonsense. Whether that works or not is one thing. Whether the whole thing makes sense with the hardware at all, the other.

You can install the modern and virus-proof Linux easily and without costs and account restrictions:

Buy a Linux magazine and boot from the included DVD, possibly with USB-DVD drive → Linux can be started and installed live from it, or

Download the ISO file from linuxmint.com and follow the instructions, or

Order a USB pen for 10 euro with Linux installed from the German dealer IXSOFT.

With Linux, it's all very easy - Microsoft can learn a lot there.
