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.
