I 'pulled the trigger' on the parts purchase this past weekend and have
been assembling things yesterday and today. I forgot that the GFX card
needs power via PCI-e connectors, and the existing PSU doesn't have any,
so I'll be buying a PSU before installing the GFX card. While I wait on
the PSU, I've been trying to get the drives moved over.
As I mentioned, I do have a 240GB SSD. I want to copy my existing Linux
and Windows partitions to the SSD, and install the existing HDD for
extra storage and also to back-up the Linux/Win partitions to. There
aren't any partition size issues, my root/home/boot/windows partitions
will all be close to the same size or bigger. The rest of the 1TB drive
will stay as is.
I've tried a variety of things to get the data copied to the SSD, GRUB
installed correctly, and the HDD installed as a second drive. Rather
than bore you with the mistakes I've made, can someone tell me what I
SHOULD do to make this happen? LOL Or is it a dumb idea to copy the
data to the SSD and then use the HDD for backups?
I'd prefer to copy as much to the SSD as possible, but if I have to, I
can just re-install the OS on the SSD.
Thanks for any advice! :-)

Clonezilla is my universal antidote for moving entire systems and MBRs
(or their UEFI equivalents) across disks. The challenge is moving from
a bigger disk to a smaller disk. If the HDD you already have is a 500GB
or some such, you may be in for gymnastics getting everything happy to
move to the SSD.
