Does this mean that you intend to reinstall Windows, along with all 
its apps, or that you will make a partition image of Windows, and 
copy it in. I ask this because if it is you were intending to do the 
latter, you should probably be prepared to do the former, because 
Windows might not be happy in its new size and location, and force 
you to do a full reinstall. I don't know how Windows installs on a 
Mac, so I could be wrong, but it would be wise, based on my own 
experience, to be ready for this eventuality.
