SQL Server Express and SQL Server 2014 on same server

Hello


Please forgive my complete lack of SQL experience.

I have a new DELL R230 and purchased SQL Server 2014 with it. (634-BCEL : Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard, 4 CORE,OEM, NFI, With 20 12 Media, ENG)
It looks as though it is not "pre-installed" but I have the media.

Right now the only program installed is Veeam backup which installed SQL Server Express alongside.

My question is:
Can I now go ahead and install the full Microsoft SQL Server 2014 via supplied media without compromising my Veaam  install?
The full version of SQL 2014 is required for a 3rd party. They want install their product after I have SQL 2014 Standard installed.
Will it show up as it's own instance, functionally independent of Express?

Any assistance very appreciated.
