I take it you mean an AD DC (a PDC is something else entirely), if so,
just set the new computer up and then join it as another DC, see here:

Sync Sysvol to the new DC, see here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_replication_%28DFS-R%29

You could then just continue with two DCs, but if you want to remove
the first DC, you will need to transfer the FSMO roles to the second
DC, see here:

Finally, you will need to demote the first DC, see here:
