I've used LaTeX for years, but I'm trying to work with ConTeXt now on a Win7 PC that has already had MikTeX 2.9 installed. I've downloaded the minimal ZIP file, unpacked it and run the first_setup.bat file. (Note, I don't have Ruby installed yet, so I can't use pdfTeX, but I assume some other build is available.) Then I opened TeXworks, created a ConTeXt typesetting option, entered a helloworld.tex program, and tried to ConTeXt it. However, I just get these messages: MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file 'C:/Users/peterd/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no file)
In the last tab of settings in TeXworks you should be able to adjust paths. Simply add the path to [context root]/texmf-mswin/bin to that list and put it on top.
However note that if you will want to use LaTeX again, you will have to put that path lower than MikTeX's binary path again.
Apart from that: ConTeXt should work under MikTeX 2.9 out of the bo.x (I reported some problems to CS; I have no idea if he fixed them, but all of them were solvable even without official fix of MikTeX, but I didn't try the latest version, I only tested the beta.)

You do not have to install Context minimal separately. Just run the package manager and select Context and install. Context will work without any problems. Emmanuel
