There are two main methods supported by the OS: One is the 1:1 copy
mechanism using dd, the other one is the "classic" method of using
dump + restore (which requires a little preparation of the target
disk).

You can find both of them explained here:

Note that if your target machine is technically different from your
source machine, you might have to do some changes after the transfer,
such as a different GPU, different sound hardware and things like
that. And setting another hostname will also be a good idea. :-)
