It turns out the gparted can copy partitions.

I'm not 100% sure that I am going to need Windows.  I won't know until
I buy a piece of software and attempt to run it under wine in a couple
months.

Does anyone see a problem with installing Linux on the SSD and using
it for a few months, then, if I need to, copy it to a backup drive,
installing Windows on the SSD and then copying the Linux install back
to the SSD ?

What special things happen in a Linux install to make dual boot work ?

Thanks !

PS.  I HATE Windows.
