I recently purchased an inexpensive SSD, but it only holds 75 GB. When using a migration tool such as EaseUS, it indicates the disk is too small to transfer my current operating system from the HDD it’s attached to. Can I simply perform a fresh USB installation onto the SSD and then boot from that drive? Or will this require me to reinstall all programs stored on my main HDD?

The optimal approach is to perform a clean installation on the SSD and reinstall software as needed. This method typically results in fewer issues encountered.

I would do that too, there is no better way of installing Windows than a clean install.
