I could resize the Windows partition using gparted to leave more than enough room for the entire old drive.

That makes it a lot easier then.

Here is fstab from my current workstation.

# /etc/fstab

# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info

/dev/mapper/fedora-root /                       ext4    defaults        1 1

You're using LVM. I assume the fstab is fine, I have very little experience with LVM, I'll leave it to someone else to say if there's any other config that will need tweaking. I believe if you free up more space than necessary, you should be able to resize the volumes to give Fedora more space.

How does one set up grub for dual boot after the fact, if you don't do a minimal install ?  Or is that what you are suggesting ?

You didn't answer the critical question about EFI on both systems.

    Is Windows booting via EFI?  I would expect it is, but just checking.
    Is your old Fedora computer booting with EFI?
