Hello Showdown88;

Yes it will. And WinXP is a qualified OS to get the upgrade to Win7.
But you probably don't want Ultimate. Home Premium is the way to go.

Also - in case you didn't know it - you can't 'upgrade in place' from WinXP.
It will need to be a clean install which means re-installing all your programs & apps.

Have you used Win7 before? If not, there is a way to keep WinXP on your computer while you're learning to use Win7 and getting it setup the way you want.

For gaming - you definitely want Home Premium.
Ultimate has other stuff running that gives you a bit less performance.
