I have Fedora and Windows installed in the same drive in my laptop. The drive has 512GB and it's divided so that each OS has 256GB. Fedora's partition is encrypted using the option it shows in its installer.

Problem is I'm running out of space. I'm considering getting a 1TB drive on which I would move Fedora and then giving Windows the other drive, so on the whole the laptop would run Windows on the 512GB drive and Fedora on the 1TB one. I've already read lots of forums but am still unsure on how to do this without losing any data and messing with Grub (I've had some bad experiences previously). So any help would be appreciated.

Can't you just clone the entire disk to a bigger one and then enlarge the partitions you want enlarged ?

If you do that youll have to also update the uuids in /etc/fstab to match the new drive.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
