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.

You can use
dd
to transfer literally everything, like partitions, boot sector and filesystems over and then use gparted to grow the partitions. Boot any Linux live image to do it.No, this will not fixup the GPT partition table, so
partclone
, integrated in clonezilla, is way easier.Otherwise yes,
dd
andgdisk
work really well. But you can easily mess up and Clonezilla just worksGood to know.
Nice. I assume I’ll need to transfer to an external drive first, and then transfer back to the new one?
Depends. If you have enough slots you can do it in one go. Otherwise you’ll have to use an external drive.
You can buy an external drive case cheap and plug in the old one with USB-C. I have multiple from Inateck which cost ten bucks on Amazon.
It’s an internal drive though.
