5) Copy over my /home directory
If you have the time and care, instead of copying the entire /home, you could manually copy the contents and decide what you want to keep. You may want to omit ~/.cache and some configuration dotfiles in ~ or ~/.config that you don't need anymore.
I always think my hone directory is clean and tidy until I get a new computer and force myself go through it manually. :-)
I would also keep the old drive around for some time in case you notice that you forgot something...
Excellent advice as well. I had a few virtual machines set up for specific purposes on a separate partition,¹ and forgot all about them until I needed one about a month later. ¹ /bin/find doesn't cross mount points unless you request it explicitly
