it says add XP to 7 can I put 7 on my xp OS ?

Huh? What are you reading?

Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate offer a Windows XP mode which uses Microsoft VirtualPC. That's not the same thing as the download I posted a link to.

Yes, you can run Windows 7 in a virtual environment on Windows XP as long as you have a full license, not an upgrade, for Windows 7.

EDIT: I see that Microsoft changed their VirtualPC link to point to Windows XP Mode for Windows 7. Disregard and use the updated link. It's completely unrelated to Windows 7.

That's with VirtualPC. I don't know if that applies to VirtualBox and VMWare.
