    Yes you can.
    You can always verify with the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor tool:

    The upgrade path is supported from Home Basic to Ultimate but that is not the only requirement. It is not possible to upgrade from 7 Home Basic to 7 Ultimate with the retail upgrade CD. You MUST use the Anytime Upgrade if you are going from 7 to 7. The retail upgrade ONLY works with Vista. If you do not have the Anytime Upgrade package it will not work. You will be forced to do a clean install.
