You can transfer your existing Windows setup from your old HD to the new M.2 drive, but you’ll need to reinstall Windows on the new hardware. Simply moving files won’t work because the drive’s capabilities and compatibility differ.

This could assist you by explaining how to create a Windows 10 clone using free methods. Watching this video on YouTube may provide clear guidance.

Yes, it's possible to duplicate your existing Windows setup onto a new disk, but I usually suggest beginning from scratch. This approach avoids any problems your current installation might cause.

The issue is I can't proceed because there isn't enough room on the new SSD for all the data from the old drive.

Disconnect all additional storage devices. Install a fresh Windows version on an SSD. Insert the previous drive. Adjust BIOS settings to start from the SSD Disk Manager. If needed, set the HDD to a specific letter. Transfer required files from the old HDD to the SSD. Remove Windows data from the HDD or move non-Windows files elsewhere and format the drive.
