Windows 8.1 boot only from vhds?

Hi,

I have this laptop (Lenvo) which has a Windows 8.1 pre-installed. It has all kind of funny formatting and tools which I really don't like. I have a separate vhd where I already boot from (for work).

I'd like to:

-make a vhd from my pre-installed Windows 8.1 (just to have a backup)
-wipe my existing pre-installed Windows 8.1 and make a boot option to boot from one of both existing vhds
-install a new Windows 8.1 to configure Windows 8.1 just as I need it to be

Please advise, also which partition the bootfiles contains since I'd need to delete some but not sure which are which (there are OEM partitions, EFI etc).

Please advise.
J.
