The answer is "Yes you can". Just ensure you're up to date with the patches and it should be fine:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The has never been a RPi 2B+
As you are using Raspbian Wheezy put the card in the RPi 2B or whatever you have, then:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot
.................but as Wheezy is end of life it is the recommended way to undertake so Wheezy can support the Zero & 3B
FYI dist-upgrade is a misnomer it does not update Wheezy to Jessie:
