can I move a boot camp partition to another boot camp partition?
I have Boot Camp (BC) on Mac Mini 1 (MM1). I want to create a BC partition on MM2, and then move the BC from MM1 to MM2. Can this be done?
Thank you.

The Mac mini (Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications has a nVIdia 320m GPU, while the 2008 most likely has an Intel GMA. For the 2008, can you look at About This Mac -> System Report -> Graphics and post which GPU it has? Also, post the Mac model identifier.
This may need more work, primarily due to GPU differences. You will most likely need to run a SysPrep to generalize Windows. Be aware that retail licensing SysPrep only a limited number of times (3).

The simpler approach is to use a tool like Winclone. The harder approach is to make a backup on MM1, install a slightly larger Windows on MM2, and then restore the backup from MM1 to MM2. The assumption is that MM1 and MM2 are same year/model with the same GPU on both.

If the only difference is CPU speeds, you should be fine. Verify Power Options and CPU settings. What is the version of Windows and the year/model(s) of the MM (do not post the serial number)?
Interesting. The chips are both Intel duos but different speeds. Is that an issue ?
To be clear, if I use winclone, does the entire windows os come over?
Would I put MM2 in target mode? MM1 has winclone and I select MM2 as the target? Will it erase what’s on MM2?
Thanks so much
