Hey guys, I currently have two separate 2TB SSD’s, one still has my old Windows 11 install and the other has Bazzite. I bought a 1TB SSD so that I can move my Windows install to that for the few things I still need Windows for, so I want to install CachyOS on what will eventually be an empty 2TB SSD.

First off, what’s a good way to clone my current Windows install to my new 1TB SSD? I’d prefer to avoid re-installing just because that’s a pain in the ass, but I’ll do that if necessary.

Second, what’s the best practice for managing two separate /home folders? I know I can just point Steam to my Bazzite /home directory to get my games to show up in another install (I think?) but are there any problems that may arise due to having two distros installed across two different SSD’s? As far as I know, Bazzite already uses BTRFS which is also what I want to use in CachyOS so that I can create snapshots in case I break something, so the file systems should be compatible with each other.

Thanks!
