Your partition setup is good. All partitions have some name under /dev. The name is not persistent and can change when rebooting. You can find it in GNOME with tools like gnome-disks from the package gnome-disk-utility (also known as GNOME Disks; it can be searched for). Alternatively find it with the command df in a terminal. Or some other tool. What I meant to say is that you can find the device name of another Trisquel partition or another SSD, and then mount it and copy the configuration files to that partition. After you have installed Trisquel, that is. And maybe copy all of your data in /home, even though that command might break things. Better not copy home to /. Better copy it elsewhere.
