To continue ....
Following the myriad of wrong, incomplete or old methods posted on the web didn't work. What worked was Winclone along with TimeMachine - my machine is exactly duplicated, but with a bigger hard drive.

I concur. Lifesaver. I spent days trying to move my MBP from one hard drive to another. Bit for Bit cloning didn't work (all the extra space from the new hard drive went to the Bootcamp partition - then OSX wouldnt allow me to change it). Following Apple's method didn't work (There is no apple method to move your Bootcamp to a new hard drive.).

This is an absolute lifesaver. Apple should buy it and add it to OS X -- it's the utility they forgot to include to make it easy for Mac users to back up their Windows partition, not just their OS X one. Makes it a cinch to adjust your Boot camp partition size, because you can back up your Bootcamp partition with Winclone, delete the bootcamp partition, create a new one of a smaller/larger size, and then restore the backup with Winclone. That's really its killer feature -- the target partition size can be different from the originally backed-up one.
