I have a system where the main SSD has Ubuntu 16.0.4 and Windows 10 in a dual boot configuration. I want to copy just the Linux operating system to a new SSD that will not be dual booted. On the new disk, I just want the Ubuntu content from the old disk, nothing else, and I want it the disk to be bootable. Note, the new SSD has more than enough space to hold the entire original Ubuntu image from the old disk, but not enough space contain both operating systems. I only mention that if one of the solutions you might propose involves doing a complete clone of both operating systems instead of just the Ubuntu partition.
What's the easiest way to accomplish this, and is there step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
