Yes.
You will have to make sure your IP settings are correct before connecting, too.
On a third party laptop the Driver Station may not automatically make the settings correctly.
It might also help to turn off all additional network interfaces except for the Ethernet port connecting to FMS.
You don't need all of LabVIEW but you must install at least the LabVIEW Tools and cRIO Drivers, as well, to get the Dashboard working.
I think they are all in the Utilities Update, but I haven't tested to be sure.
So, from the Software Updates page, you need the Utilities and Driver Station Updates.
