I installed LL2.4 as a UEFI enabled dual boot system with Windows 8.1. I have two physical drives.
LL was installed as root with Win8.1 on SSD drive 1. Data files are shared between both OSes,
using symlinking to SSD drive 2.
I would now like to transfer 'home' from root and install it as a separate /home partition to
unallocated space on the SSD drive 1. The reason I want to do this is so that the configuration files
in a separate /home partition preserve my settings, rather than these being wiped out each time
I replace LL2.4 with new LL releases.
Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Mike
