Migrate Ubuntu to a new SSD

clonegpartedmigrationUbuntu

I'm trying to move my Ubuntu installation to a new SSD but all the guides that I found are either incomplete or the partition layout is different than mine.

enter image description here

I would use Ubuntu live and clone the sdd5 partition with gparted to the new ssd. What else do I need to do?

The sdd2 partition has boot and esp flag. Do I clone that as well? Do I need to install grub on one of the partitions and how do I do that? Do I need to change fstab and some UUIDs?

Or should I use some all in one cloning software instead of gparted?

I ended up using clonezilla. disk to disk clone with default options. Then on the new drive I just resized the partitions to take up all the unallocated space.
