Is this even possible?

First, when the software developers were testing these upgrade functions, they might have said, "But no one would want to do that." IOW your risk of failure is high.
Second, copy the current disk to a new disk. Then upgrade the new disk. You always have a master copy to start over. Start over, you so often must. (Yoda, stop talking in my brain.)
Done so many upgrades even back with Windows 3.x and Windows NT 3.x and 4.x. Even used well regarded utilities such as Partition Magic. The lesson at one point most every time has been: its good I didn't do this to the master.
