Here's the situation. I have 2 SSD hard drives in my system, a 128GB and 500GB. Currently, my partition structure is this:
500GB - Ubuntu 16.04 Install
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System
/dev/sda2 1050624 2050047 999424 488M Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 2050048 976771071 974721024 464.8G Linux LVM
128GB - Windows 10 Install
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 250068991 250066944 119.2G Microsoft basic data
My situation is that I'm running out of space on my Windows 10 drive. What I want to do is use Clonezilla to clone my Windows 10 drive over to my 500GB drive. I'm fine with loosing my Ubuntu drive and installing from scratch onto the 128GB drive later, I have everything backed up.
My one concern is the EFI partition on the Linux drive, I'm pretty sure if I do a device-device transfer with Clonezilla, my Windows install will no longer boot due to the now missing EFI directory, is this a correct assumption? I do see within /boot/efi a directory for Microsoft, but I'm unsure on how to "fix" the Windows drive after the imaging is done.
