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.)
