If you do not use Outlook with Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook stores all its data in a .pst file.

Install the office 2013 without removing the 2007 version,

you will be asked for upgrade .

Just take a backup for safty purpose.

You can install Office 2013 and have it replace an older version. You should not have to worry about the PST file. Making a backup is always a prudent step when performing a major upgrade. Many Office add-ins still have not been upgraded to 64-bit and therefore won't work with 64-bit Office. The 64-bit version can support much larger spreadsheets for one.

Microsoft does not provide a tool that upgrades the PST from ANSI to UNICODE. The safety way is to create a new UNICODE PST and move the old Outlook items to new PST files. There are many third party tool available for doing this task, but I recommend you to take a help of this tool:- Upgrade Outlook from Older to Newer. First download the demo version and check the procedure.
