    @conectionist WIM the Windows OS partition (I assume partition 4) and the WinRE partition (I assume partition 1) by performing Step 1 under Imaging, create the OS partition and 650MB WinRE partition (Step 3) on the 256GB SSD, then apply the WIMs (Step 2)

    It's easy enough to move the C: partition to another disk, using gparted or another product, leaving the other partitions. The problem will be to modify the boot in GRUB or whatever you use.

    There is also the problem of ensuring that you don't lose everything in case of error.

    Indeed, as @harrymc points out, you should have backups before even considering such operation. And yes, moving C: is easy and if you want to have Windows only then make sure you have a Windows installation media of the same version and create an empty ESP in the target drive. Then just boot the installer and follow instructions to repair boot, it should install the Windows bootloader manager in the new drive. Commented Dec 8, 2023 at 17:46
