Just out of curiosity is their no 'Clone' possible of a WinTel machine?
Yes, there is. Lots of software out there - free and paid-for - that will clone a disk.
The problem is that you can't simply drop the system disk from one computer into another and expect it to work without considerable intervention, unless the underlying hardware (motherboard, CPU, etc.) are nearly identical.
Providing that you can supply the drivers for the different hardware it is often possible to do this - provided you have plenty of time and a reasonable amount of know-how.
