If you can, I recommend taking a full image of the old device and dumping it onto the new one (since the new one is bigger, this should work just fine. This will preserve all filesystem IDs and partition table quirks that may be triggering windows to repair itself.

You can do this with a command like:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/full_image.dat

Where /dev/sda is your old disk (may be sdb or sdc, use blkid to find out)

Then do the opposite on the new drive

dd if=/path/to/full_image.dat of=/dev/sdb

Where /dev/sdb is your new drive (may have a different letter)

If you can plug th both in to the same machine, you can copy the image directly

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

There are other dd params that may make the copy faster, but they don’t change the result. Note that dd is silent when working, but you can send signal USR1 to get progress

Ctrl-z to interrupt dd bg To continue the dd job in the background kill -s USR1 $(pgrep dd) to get a progress message
