Wanna swap windows and linux on two different drives without losing anything

[mohin2202]

context: i currently have a laptop with a hard drive and a ssd. on the ssd, i have windows 11 and on hdd, i have omarchy linux. i am going to buy a new laptop and i want it to be dual boot like i have on my current laptop. both my current drives have personal data as well.

i want to swap the places of windows and linux on my current pc and then i will take out the ssd and put it in the new laptop. i want to have the exact linux, with the same settings and adjustments i made on it onto my current ssd, and i want to have the same programs and software and personal files i had on windows 11 on the ssd onto the hdd.

what is the best way to do so?

I would first of all back up everything important to you.

I tested this howto, it works.
To move Linux is easier, just copy your files and restore bootloader, and it'll work.
