I have Microsoft Home and Student 2010.
I plan to upgrade my PC.(Windows XP to Windows 7)
I am wondering if I can uninstall it and reinstall it after I upgrade the PC.
I have 3 licenses and I used two out of three.
I hope this is possible.

Welcome to the forums,
When you activate Office a "snapshot" of your hardware is taken by MS, and as long as it stays mostly the same re-activation isn't an issue. Since you won't be changing your hardware you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

If it fails, call Microsoft, explain the situation, and they'll give you a code to reactivate it - just takes a few minutes.
