If nothing is currently broken,that will work.
This is not, however, what is generally recommended.
You are being presented with an excellent opportunity
to back up your data to external media, format the drive, and do a CLEAN install.

(Some people do a clean reinstall of Windoze periodically
to get rid of the cruft that builds up.)
