It depends on how old the computer is. You have to check two things:
1)Does the computer meet the minimum system requirements for the OS that you want to upgrade to? Example: windows 7 requires a 1ghz processer, and 1gb of ram for 32 bit, and 2 gb ram for 64 bit. You're computer may be too old for windows 7.
2) You'll also have to check the system requirements for the version of microsoft office you have. You'll have to reinstall the programs after installing the new OS, and if you have an old version of office, you may not be able to install it on a newer system (I'm not 100% sure on that).
I'm guessing you're computer will probably be too old to install anything but windows 2003. According to wikipedia support will terminate for 2003 on July, 2015
