Can white win this Q+P endgame?

Can white win this Q and P endgame?

From this position, put black Queen on the best defensive square, then it's white to move.

[fen "8/1PQ3pk/6pp/8/8/8/8/3K4 w - - 0 1"]

Maybe like this:

[fen "8/1PQ3pk/6pp/8/q7/8/8/3K4 w - - 0 1"]

My computer gives +6 for white, but doesn't seem to be able to find a winning strategy.
