I have found out that the little netbook I use for learning about FreeBSD is capable (in theory at least) of running Windows 10. I am going to upgrade the RAM (to 2GB!) and add a larger HDD and give it a go but I am happy with the way I have FreeBSD set up so I would prefer to clone my current install rather than start again from scratch. Instead of just starting and then fixing problems as they crop up (my usual method) I thought I would try to think this one through before I start.
My plan is to wipe the larger HDD then clean install Windows 10 (It will be 32 bit and installed in BIOS mode as its an old low power netbook) Then shrink the main windows partition from inside Windows and then install FreeBSD in the free space.
One idea would be to boot from the FreeBSD install USB drive then get it to set up the partition scheme, then clone my old install over the top. Does this look like a good idea or are there better approaches to take? Thank you in advance.
