Turbo trainer/bike setup

Advice on this greatly appreciated. I've just got my first turbo trainer (after years of resistance - get it! 
)
My bike is a 105 10 spd, but I have a brand new Shimano 8spd wheel/cassette gathering dust in my shed. Can I use this wheel on the turbo? The trainer has a bar mounted resistance lever so will I be ok as long as I don't touch the gears?

But how will your 8 speed casette work with your 10 speed chain and STI shifters?Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...0

Can't you just put a 10-spd cassette on the wheel? Think the freehub body is the same size for 8/9/10-spd.
A 10-spd chain is too narrow for an 8-spd cassette, so don't think it will work.0
