I have an old Thinkpad on its last legs which I cannot shutdown (long

I'll recreate a similar partitioning from a live usb on the newer
laptop, then I'll mount the root partition, connect to the old laptop
via ssh, copy the data on the new drive, reinstall grub and modify
fstab.
Will this work?
probably, depending on your method.
I frequently copy the desired partitions (without modification) with
Gparted to a separate physical drive...
installing and updating GRUB is the only stumbling block.
