Migrating Windows & Linux to different drives. Protocol recommendations? (hexbear.net)

I want to move some things around on my PC. My current daily driver is Fedora KDE and I've been on it for about a year now and love it! But it's running on a 2tb 2.5" SSD and I have my original W10 install on a 2tb m.2 SSD. I rarely go into windows, so I'm comfortable migrating it to a smaller drive now. I've installed a 500gb m.2 SSD on the back side of my motherboard that I'd like to move it to. I'd like to be running Fedora and everything on my 2tb m.2 SSD and use the 2.5" one for general storage. Is there a simple way to just migrate both OS's exactly as they are? Most tutorials I've looked at only address moving Windows or a Linux system individually and doesn't mention a dual boot system. I'm afraid of breaking GRUB (or whatever boot loader Fedora uses).n

Anyone know the order in which to proceed with this? Any software recommendations for the migration?

I'm not entirely opposed to doing a fresh install of W10 if it makes things easier, but I really want Fedora to stay intact exactly as it is.
