Unlike upgrading computer hardware, upgrading your operating system is not recommended or advisable for your clients and yourself unless you want to make more money as a computer technician.

Because if the client hardwares were manufactured the same time when XP was around it will not fit for windows 7 or 8, even the hardware requirements were suited for installation. Some technician says that people complained about lags and slow performance of their upgraded windows version but still if you want to make money suggest your client to upgrade it.
