Question Cassettes & hubs interchangeable?

I have a Schwinn Premis and want to upgrade the components. Question is will a "new" cassette fit onto the rear hub?

How can I find out?

TIA

Anyone care to translate?

I've tried to avoid speaking acronym in lieu of full sentences with punctuation.

LBS = Local Bike Shop

The spacing on a 7 speed freehub won't allow you to mount a 9 speed cassette - you'll almost certainly need a new rear hub, at least.

Thanks for the acronym deciphering. To me, LBS is an abbreviation for "pounds - mass", not local bike shop. Imagine my confusion.
