From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Absolutely this. Relatively quick and clean, no messing with installation or reconfiguration. That is, assuming your data isn't completely corrupted and the old drive doesn't just outright fail during transfer... But if that happens you were screwed to begin with.
The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option
