Good Luck. Hope this helps. Email me for more assistance.
As suggested, in Windows, insert the CD and it should autorun and you follow the instructions.

Insert cd/dvd into drive and follow the on screen instructions.
Try it. you would know if it is possible or not.
If it is not compatible you would know in the beginning. Nothing on your computer would be changed, so go ahead and try it.
