Wow... Well first of all, you went about this the wrong way. Do you have another larger external HDD???
If not, I am afraid you will have to use the new windows. Did your whole build change?
I have another external drive. My old build is AMD.
Rebuild the old PC then. Transfer as much data as you can that is not part of Windows. There needs to be less data on the Windows drive than you can fit on the SSD.
You can then use imaging software to image your old windows and just move it to the SSD.
Unfortunately the chances ARE VERY good that the windows install will not work. So then you will need to do a Windows repair and HOPE it works. Since it is a new build the drivers will differ a lot, this causes windows to not boot.
Chances are it won't work...
IT REALLY IS MUCH SIMPLER TO USE THE NEW WINDOWS INSTALL...
