How to copy only the windows folder without affecting other partitions
It won't function properly because Windows requires more than just the main installation folder—it also needs program, user, temporary, and other directories. You may need to copy the entire partition or perform a fresh installation using a bootable USB drive.
I understand, you already have everything else except a few outdated packages in WindowsApps.
At the very least I’ll make sure everything is saved, even if the folder’s contents don’t include easy-to-find configuration files.
This setup isn't functioning because hidden partitions are present. You'll need to align partitions, bootloader, and other components, plus the necessary copies. Use Macrium Reflect to clone the partition.
