My old RPi2 recently refused updates using the old default 100MB FAT32
partition and a 4GB EXT4 partition (on a 4GB Sandisk SD card so I
transferred both partitions to a new 16 GB SD card:

- used gparted, on a laptop running Fedora Linux 32, to create a 1GB FAT32
  partition and a 15GB EXT4 partition. This step could also be done on an
  RPi using cfdisk

- Downbloaded the latest ISO image for Clonezilla (2.7.0) from
  http://clonezilla.org/ and burnt it to a CD.

- Used clonezilla to copy both partitions from the old SD card to the new
  one.

- swapped SD cards in the RPi and it booted immediately from the new card.

This should work just fine if you're running Windows on your PC because
the Clonezilla CD is a complete, bootable Debian system. Partition the
new SD card on the RPi if your Windows partitioning tool doesn't
understand Linux disk formats and then populate the new card using
Clonezilla.
