If I understand the question correctly...

No, you can't use it from the included hard drive. The hard drive is an installer.
You install it from the hard drive. No need to uninstall 10U. 
You can't even see anything on the drive except for the exe install program.

You will receive a paper with the serial number along with the hard disk.
The first thing to do is to open Native Access and enter the serial number.
After it registers to your account Native Access will tell you that you have 53 "not Installed" items.

At this point you can either click the button to download the updates from the internet (don't do it, too big)
or you can plug in the hard drive and double click the installation exe file.
It will ask you if you really want to downgrade Native Access because you have a newer version on your computer.
Just click "yes" and let it reinstall the older version of Native Access. Keep the hard drive plugged in and open Native Access
and click the update all products button. It will install the 53 items using the hard drive.

Thanks for this.
