c++ is a superset of c

your c files are already valid c++

Not quite. He could have variables called 'class', for example, which is fine in c but a reserved word in c++.

There are also some subtleties in code where code compiled in c and c++ would exhibit different runtime behaviours.....

Windows and most other file-systems have a built in conversion utility. Simply select your .c source file and change the extension to .cpp. Job done, with the reservations Visage has pointed out of course
