Can anyone help me set my new 1tb hdd as a main boot drive and move everything from the 130gb hdd to the new one so I can de commission the old one?

use dd command to clone your existing HDD to new.

from arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_cloning

dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progress

You posted this in non-windows part of the forum so i decided that you have linux or macOS.

Use this https://gparted.org/ to copy partitions between disks. Read the documentation. You should also be able to grow the final copy of your partition, so that it fills your new drive completely. Test before formatting your old drive.
