Thanks Robert. That's what I was afraid of. Tons of work when really the easy solution is to repartition the disk so it matches the dual boot one in the shop and then install from the same Live CD I used for the shop computer. Really does make sense. Just that the office one has all sorts of other stuff installed but then I really don't use it all that much other than for testing stuff so all in all probably the smartest choice.
Thanks for confirming that.
