Upgrading to Ghost 15 when installing WIndows 7

I'm going to move from Ghost 14 and XP to Ghost xx and Windows 7 on a new computer.  I understand I should be using Ghost 15 and not 14.  If I must upgrade to Ghost 15 can I install it directly on the new computer, attach the external disk and use the "old" Ghost 14 backups to move my data to the new machine?
