As well as all my important stuff in /home, can I transfer over the operating system as well as everything in the root partition? What about the Windows Partition? Thanks in advance.

I changed my 256GB OS/Data ssd to a 2TB and I used clonezilla, everything was copied, like parameters and installed soft.

You do need an external drive for it though (just to save a big file on) and a thumbdrive (to wipe and install clinezilla boot), but if you have that I'd recommend 100%.
