Is there anyway I can test the drive before tearing the computer down as this is a real pig to do, as it is at the bottom of the laptop? This is a dual boot UEFI install (one of my test drives), I've got a separate /home and swap partition, but you don't need those. No idea what sda4 or 5 are, sda6 looks like another EFI partition?, why a boot partition on sda7 and sda8 is your / partition. sda1-3 are okay, looks like EFI partition, win C: and recovery partition. Always add labels to partitions - makes life easier downstream. Any ext4 partitions you create will be owned by root (easy to change). Make sure you select the correct drive - a dropdown top right in the gparted window. Looks like you are booting UEFI so choose a gpt partition table (device > create partition table in the gparted menu). You will need to put a partition table on it before you can create partitions. If you want to format it, suggest gparted. If you intend to clone to it, it doesn't matter, whatever is there will be overwritten anyway. Inxi: drives are just that, blank - nothing on them.

The SSD must not be smaller than the old hard disk. For this procedure it would be better to be disconnected from the internet.
