Default Windows 98-ME Upgrade

I want to move my existing (Windows 98, AT) system to another computer. I
want the power management facilities provided on the new (ATX) machine to
work properly as well as the existing software, for which I have no
installation media, to remain available. Can I:
Clone the old drive onto the new in the old machine,
Put the cloned drive into the new machine,
Boot to the startup floppy with CD-ROM support,
Put in the Windows ME CD and run setup /p j and install into the same folder
(C:\Windows),
and have it work as I want?
Are there any preliminary steps to ensure a good outcome?
I hope this makes sense,
ern.
