As far as I know, you can run the Enterprise setup program, and there's an
option to Upgrade. Although of course if you want or need to reinstall the
OS then you'll have to reinstall MSSQL anyway - you can use just backup your
databases and then restore them on the new installation.

If you do upgrade your MSSQL installation, and you're planning on using log
shipping, then see this KB article:
