The best way to achieve what you want here, is getting an USB-Stick prepared with the version you want to upgrade to.

Since 13.04 went EOL in January 27, 2014 it is unlikely that you will get a proper upgrade process done. Needless to say that you would to do a really mass of upgrades (from 13.04 to 13.10 to 14.04 to 14.10 ... and so on).

I also would suggest getting a version which not shortly will run out of lifetime like 17.04 is going to (EOL date for it is January 2018). Instead go for a LTS (long term support) release of Ubuntu. The current LTS is 16.04 and the next will be 18.04, to be released April next year. (Kudos to MichaelBay who pointed this out in coments)

To avoid complications I would as well suggest a backup of your data and a fresh clean install if whatever version you choose.

    Prefer LTS releases for stability and longevity of support. The current LTS is 16.04 and the next will be 18.04, to be released April next year. –  Nov 01 '17 at 18:51
