boot any distro from a USB
dd if=/dev/(SMALL DISK) of=/dev/(BIG DISK) status=progress
Do not target partitions, ie /dev/sda1, but target the disk itself, so all partitions are copied over, ie /dev/sda
wait for it to finish
use any partitioning tool to expand the Zorin partition to fill out the remaining space. I like to use gparted.
Fuck cloning software, just do it yourself. It's easier.
Use dd! It's a tool that allows you to copy the contents of anything bit-for-bit to anywhere else. First, you'll need to boot into a live USB of any distro. Then, after plugging in both drives, you'll want to run something like dd if=/path/to/source/drive of=/path/to/output/drive bs=4M. You can get the paths of each drive by running lsblk, and they'll look something like /dev/sda1 or /dev/nvme0n1. (Be very careful with dd, as whatever you put as the output drive will be irreversibly overwritten with whatever you put the input drive as.)
Like others said dd should work.
If for whatever reason you prefer cloning software I'm pretty sure Clonezilla will easily do a disk-to-disk clone, just double-check if you still need to expand the partition on the new drive after cloning (I don't remember if Clonezilla does that for you).
Clonezilla is great, and simplifies the use of dd
Clonezilla can do that for you. Very easy, very reliable.
Just wanted to say, sometimes it's easier having two drives. If you have an extra slot I would do that. You could try vm too. I prefer KVM, but virtualbox is fine and easier.
If you need to dual boot, you can. I think people have already pointed out clonezilla which is a tool that I love. But I'm in school programming assembly using MASM. I found multiple options for this.
A container running msvc via wine utilizes msvc compilers and works with cmake. See here
Or using winapps. Technically, it runs a VM within a container. The part that is cool about winapps is that it uses FreeRDP to basically accomplish what Microsoft RemoteApp used to, it makes it appear as if the program is just running on Linux without any major changes.
