As I've yet to see this happen let's hope someone can find a way. It's been over a decade and that was my hint to you there has not been a solution to date.

Your reply tells me I must be blunt here. No.

1. You move all your data with Windows Explorer or (My) Computer.
2. You re-install all your programs. If active on both boots, you might need to buy a second license code.
3. You redo all your settings and such manually.
