Viable, but that presumes the Windows user knows how to create a Linux live USB, and boot from it, what a "Terminal" is/where, and which drive it which. My instructions on booting can partly help. Under Linux there is also the option to clone partition via GParted

I myself - having tried every major and many minor Linux distros, and long-time user of Windows (from W/9x and now W/11, and for $30 since upgrading to W/8 on the retail channel) and customizer of the same - have found the rather extensive customization I want to be far easier and obtainable than my Linux experience. See here. Nothing presently warrants the time it would take to get Linux the way I myself want it, even if possible. But thank God for alternatives. I run Mint on a couple older PCs, without proprietary multimedia codecs however.
