I have a Blender version 2.78 build for windows and would like to use the new 2.79 test build. I am unsure as to whether deleting the 2.78 version to install the 2.79 version will erase the projects on it.

Is there a way to do this without getting rid of the projects?

First off, reinstalling Blender won't delete any blend file. Second, there is a portable version for each release, which means you don't necessarily have to uninstall anything and can have multiple versions at the same time. Moreover, the 2.79 RC1 only has a portable version, no installer yet. So in fact you can't even replace your 2.78 installation.

To use the portable version, unzip it and open Blender.exe, very simply.
