Hello Rock,
While the behavior in Windows Vista is different, the result should be the
same.
You should be able to upgrade from inside Windows to "fix" or "repair" a
system.
If you can run setup this should be able to fix some problems particularly
problems where files or registry settings need to go back to defaults.
Applications, drivers and users accounts should still be present after the
upgrade. As always a backup of data is recomended to be safe.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
