Solution
Yes, it will work. The official high resolution texture pack is compatible with the base game or any of the DLC.
You will have problems though if running a 32-bit operating system.
You will need a 64-bit operating system and at least 6GB of RAM.

You can also improve the graphics significantly with mods.
Some of these will require a graphics card with at least 2GB of video memory (with MSAA disabled) or higher if you also want to enable MSAA with mods installed.

Probably like medium to low settings.
 


You have a 64-bit operating system, so that is good.
System memory and video memory are lower than what I would suggest, but they do meet Bethesda's minimum specifications.
Be sure to disable MSAA in the graphics settings. Other settings can be high without any concern.

The difficulty can be removing the texture pack once you have added it if it doesn't work.
Once you have downloaded the DLC from steam, even reinstalling the game will download the DLC again.
If this happens, downloading and install NMM from the website I linked above. You can use this to disable individual mods
including the high res texture pack.

I would also highly recommend the following mods:
Unofficial Skyrim Patch-19-1-3-2c.7z
Unofficial Hearthfire Patch-25127-1-1-1.7z
SkyUI_4_1-3863-4-1.7z

The first two fix a huge number of bugs in the game.
The third is a much improved user interface. The user interface that comes with the game is terrible. You can only see attributes for objects one at a time, so you can't sort your inventory on weight or damage, etc. SkyUI is fantastic.

For the SkyUI mod to work, you also need to install SKSE:
http://skse.silverlock.org/

Once installed, you launch Skyrim with the SKSE shortcut. If using a steam copy of the game, steam needs to be running and logged in.

If you do keep the Bethesda high res texture pack, also install this mod after the others:
