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.

Clonezilla creates a 1:1 copy on the new drive. I went from 1 to 2 TB and had 1 TB of unallocated space left. You can use the space to increase other partitions or make new ones.

I finally got my ssd, but as you can see after cloning the partitions the unallocated space is not next to my / partition. Do you know of any way to move it over or merge them?
