I'm not so sure you're to the getting ready to switch to Linux stage as you think you are. Also, cloning & moving drive partitions are pretty elementary concepts. Not that people shouldn't help but many people on Linux don't realize encouraging people to switch too soon, often results in that person actually hurting the Linux community because they had a relatively productive setup before & now everything sucks to them. Having a dual boot partition or drive is helpful but you should also have some strategies to switch back if needed as your primary OS until you feel more confident & productive.
I get what you mean. I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while now, and Linux has been great to me, honestly. It's just that since Linux was the side-partition and windows was the main one, I had doubts when it came to switching the hierarchy around. I got some great ideas here though, and thank you for your warning. I appreciate it :)
