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 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.

        These are cases specifically to house internal drives.

        Actually most cases are. Chances are good that even if you just buy any external drive that if you were to screw it open that it would have just a normal internal drive in there hooked up to an adapter.

        If it’s a 2.5" drive, get a drive case and make it external. If it’s an m.2 chip, you can still get cases for those. I don’t know how much they cost, but they exist. If it’s soldered to the logic board, you’re out of luck.
