sda1 which is 100 MB of type vfat its a GPT partition.
sda2 is a swap partition 8 GB
sda2 50GB type ext4 for root (/)
sda3 900GB type ext4 for home partition
Recently bought a 120GB M.2 SSD
I intend to move my root partition on SSD to reduce Boot time and boot through it.
How to do it and do i have to move my GPT partition too to new SSD?
Thanks in advance

Hmmmm ... I think I'd just do a clean install on the new SSD, then restore from a TimeShift backup. Then use the whole 1TB as /home via SYMLINK. Sounds way cleaner to me.
