Well, yes, but the point of this thread is to not reinstall but transfer the existing system to the new disk. The installer in rescue mode is used to boot on the new UEFI machine only after the transfer and install the GRUB EFI boot loader, which cannot be done on the old non-UEFI machine (actually it could, if installing GRUB into the removable media path).
