You're aiming to move Windows 10 along with essential apps like Steam and Chrome to an SSD while keeping your existing files intact. There are ways to do this without transferring everything at once. Consider using a partitioning tool or a bootable installer that lets you select only the necessary partitions, so you can install Windows and required programs selectively. This approach helps preserve your current data while giving you space for new games.

You're facing limitations in bringing everything over, making it mostly impractical. A clean Windows install would be better if you want to replace the SSD with an HDD.

Typically, applications ignore installation details. They often work immediately after a fresh HDD setup.

It could help to delete unnecessary files and old programs one by one, then transfer your HDD to an SSD. This approach should allow you to reduce the HDD size effectively.

You need to create a bootable USB or DVD and install Windows on the new drive before connecting it to your system.
