Hi Kev,

Technically, as an "experimental" thing to do, it can be done, with
significant effort.  But, it may take several re-installations of
Windows to get it working, so it's probably not what you're after.

Also, it may do Bad Things to your windows activation licensing. :/

There's an email thread, showing the kind of issues involved with this,
from just a few months ago:

Hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
