yes, no need to wiping the system, just use add feature in Windows 8.1

Can I add features to my Single Language edition of Windows?Yes. If you bought the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack or Windows 8 Pro Pack, you should be able to install it and activate Windows successfully.
But my opinion, doing fresh install will be better solution
