Hey Everyone,
I used clonezilla to clone my spinning disk drive with dual boot Windows/Fedora to an SSD. I did disk to disk and had it automatically expand to the larger drive. The steps are fairly straight forward!

Nice! How many clone attempts did you need to do before it worked (?) I last used it in 2009 and it took about 2-3 tries (one was my bad for rebooting too soon, one was just bad, and the 3rd worked).

It worked on the first attempt. I just did the default settings except for the part where it says to expand to fill the new drive. I put the SSD into a caddy and booted the computer with the Clonezilla on an USB. After the clone was finished, I pulled the spinning disk and I put in the new SSD. It booted and I am now running!

It turns out that while Clonezilla did resize the physical partition, I still had to resize the Physical Volume and the Logical Volume for LVM.
This took a couple extra steps. I added space to root, swap and home. You can see the commands below.
``` pvresize /dev/sda8 lvextend -r -L+100G /dev/fedora/root lvextend -r -L+8G /dev/fedora/swap lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/fedora/home ```
