    Hi everyone, I'm quite new to clonezilla, it's the first time that I'm might use it.

    I have a laptop with a dual boot on it like follows :

    image1

    image2

    I bought 2 new SSDs to replace them. A 2TB to replace the 512GB one, and a 4TB to replace the 2TB one.

    What is the best way to move and expand my dual boot system to those disk ?

    I want something a little bit like that :

    Disk 1 (2TB) : Windows C = ~800GB / Linux (/) = everything else : ~1.2TB

    Disk 2 (4TB) : Windows D = 800GB / Linux (/home) = ~2.6TB

    Thanks in advance for the help !

    The easiest way is you clone disk to disk one by one. Then use GParted live (gparted.org) to resize your partition size.
    //NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla and GParted. Just in case.

      But since it's dual boot, won't there be issues if I resize the Windows partition before Linux ? (Since it will make it start later than on the original disk). Like will I need to reinstall grub ? Will the whole install break ? And also I don't know if linux has hardcoded partition size or UUID in the system itself since I'm quite new to this ...
