I am runnging Ubuntu 17.10 on an HD at the moment. This was just a "test" but I am so pleased with Ubuntu I would like to make it my main environment and have it on SSD. I have then bought a 500GB SSD to copy the partition onto.
Here is the sudo fdisk -l

new drive is SDB. SDA being the 3TO HD with the 500GB Ubuntu partition. SDC is windows.
I have come across a lot of tutorials to copy the Ubuntu partition but most mentionned a rescue disk/USB. Is it necessary here ? Is there a preferable tutorial ?
