Hi, Yes, very definitely. Let the CD autostart or click the CD in My Computer. It should announce itself and offer to update. If things go well you wont lose anything you have now. Let it save the current OS and you will be able to go back to what you have if necessary. When all is well uninstall the saved OS from Control Panel, Add-Remove.

Good Luck, Jim
