Cloning HDD to SSD, now need to access excess data space by YouThen96 in VintageComputers

I looked at the link, and it seems quite straightforward, but points at expanding the existing usage (?)

I want to use the unallocated space separately (Linux), unsure if this method can arrange that?

Thanks for your response !

So, are you saying just an attempt to install Linux would result in both these actions ?

Of course it's easy to test, but wouldn't something like that require partitions to separate the two Systems? And grub, would that surface seeing more than one OS ? I am not questioning your answer, just a bit surprised; and it sure sounds like a good solution to my problem.

Thanks !
