    Yes, but it's not an "upgrade". You can capture user data from Win7 Pro, install Win 7 Ent (from scratch) and restore the user state (and applications) again.

    Note tht this is classified as a "refresh" scenario because you are not chaning the user's hardware, just installing a fresh copy of an OS; i.e., refreshing it.

            Thanks Torsten and Jason  
          It means that there is no way other than taking backup first then install Win 7 Ent (from scratch) and restore the Users data again??

    Yes, but that can be done automatically using USMT (user state migration tool) and hard-linking or using an SMP (State Migration Point).

    There is nothing easy or fast about installing a new instance of an OS particularly with user data involved. You need to learn about the operating system deployment feature set in ConfigMgr: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682108.aspx
