Sure. I recommend to use "parted" to copy partitions, it will work when
the sizes of the partitions are different. Windows won't like it if the
drive letter changes, though. You might have to remove your other vfat
partition, or hide it perhaps by changing the partition type.
You will need to tell your boot loader about this new windows partition.
