I now have a dual boot system with a 1tb drive. Approximately 500gb for WIndows 10 and 500gb for Linux Mint. I have a new box with a 2tb hdd and I want to migrate my current system to it, i.e., 1tb for Windows and 1tb for Linux. Any ideas, suggestions on how to do this??
Thank you for your time.

Re: How to migrate a dual boot system
I understand it's not what you want, but I would just move the 1TB HDD into the new rig, and use the entire 2GB HDD for storage that can be accessed by both operating systems.
Another option would be to make a disk image of the 1TB drive using Clonezilla (or similar), and then restore that image to the 2TB drive. You may have to expand the partitions on the new drive after the restore, I'm not sure. It's been quite a log time since I've done this. But I recall that restoring an image is much more flexible than a direct clone.
