VMWare ESX 4 to ESXi 5

I need a quick answer as to whether I can just move a VM currently running on ESX 4 to the newest version of ESXi 5.1?  

 I did a quick search and all I could find was how to upgrade a ESX 4 server to an  ESXi 5.1 server.  I did not come across anything which said if the VMs were compatible.  

I need to move some VMs off of an ESX 4 server onto a completely new server and I was wondering if I could install ESXi 5.1 and just copy the VMs over.
