As well as all my important stuff in /home, can I transfer over the operating system as well as everything in the root partition? What about the Windows Partition? Thanks in advance.

I've always used Acronis Clonedisk, but there are probably newer tools that do the job.

I think it costs money, but I stole my copy from work.

It's very easy to use, just a few clicks on the default options, and it also auto-scales the partition to fit the destination dish, whether blarger or smaller.

It boots from a USB drive and is OS-agnostic.

I use it whenever I'm swapping out my windows boot drive for something faster or bigger. Never had any problems from using it
