You don't upgrade anything when you buy an upgraded item from Xur, what happens is that he is going to take one exotic shard, 7500 glimmer and your item and will give you a brand new one with no perks unlocked, you are not upgrading your gun, you are turning in your gun for a new one, he takes your beloved gun and gives you another one with higher attack/light that is it.
