Of course you can.
Notice that in openSUSE there are no major.minor version numbering,
despite the appearances. The difference between 12.2 and 12.3 is as

A bit.
A fresh install can be told not to format “/home”, and an upgrade
doesn’t touch “/home”, be it a separate partition or not. So it should
be reasonable safe.
