As I mentioned I will be copying from one drive to the other, as I have 
done before.  The question is regarding any issues with switching to 
UEFI.  I'll also be enlarging some of the partitions too.  The Linux 
partitions are easy, just use cp -a to copy the contents, though I may 
use dd for the boot partition.  I'll probably also use dd for the 
Windows partition and then resize it.  Or I could just dd all partitions 
and then resize/move as needed.

Regardless, the original drive will not be changed in the process, so no 
risk there.
