Yes, in fact, MSE is designed to work with your built in Windows Firewall. Just make sure that when you download/ install MSE you do not currently have ANY OTHER programs running that are anti- virus/ malware protection besides your basic Windows Firewall. If you have MSE and other anti- virus/ malware protection programs running at the same time it could cause your computer to crash or otherwise not properly work!
