¿Can I do this with TI-NSpire with touchpad? and... What about if I want use a recent o lastest version of the OS?

Hi, thanks for the post. I am from El Salvador. And i bought (coming soon in a few days) a TI-NSpire with touchpad (Non CAS). It was a mistake, because i need a lot of things of CAS in the university, right now. Well, I want install CAS in my TI-NSpire, but... is it posible to do? I really need it.
