Move/Clone System Partition(s) to new Disk
After quite some pain I finally succeded in moving the dual boot (Windows and Linux) to a new harddisk. For cloning I used EaseUS Todo Backup Free 12.0 without resizing. Than testing that both Linux and Windows run. Than moving and resizing Linux using gparted. Than resizing Windows using AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 8.5.
