Theoretically yes - however be aware that it won't be 4Gigabit - it'll be 4 x 1 gigabit pipes so you'll be limited by 1 gigabit if it's a single file transfer.

Only Server variants of Windows have teaming enabled - including LACP - at the OS level. With compatible hardware and drivers you can do the teaming in the driver on any variant of Windows.
