I want to keep my old computer fully functional as a backup.  Thus I'd like to leave the existing drive in it.

It would be super easy to clone my existing drive with dd if it wasn't for the Windows install.   Do a minimal install, dd the Linux stuff and then somehow fix the boot entries ?

not the answer of your question, but maybe a hint:

Why not to screw the old Fedora disk into the new workstation and to
adjust the boot order in the bios ?

and then boot the windows raw (!) disk via Virtual Box or maybe KVM.
