This is the correct method. If you have the retail software downloaded, you will need to download and install the educational software [here](https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads/mindstorms-ev3/software) in order to access the 1.09E firmware and utilize its additional features (datalogging, etc).

<p>Yes, this is totally possible and I have done it multiple times. You will need access to both firmware files though - AFAIK there is no menu to choose versions.</p>
