I'm trying to migrate my Windows 10 installation from my HDD over to my SSD using EaseUS Todo 9.1, but I'm running into issues.

When I attempt to clone the primary Windows partition, it gives me a general error stating "errors were found" on the disk, and that I need to do sector-by-sector clone, however this isn't possible as the full size of the HDD is 465 GB while the receiving SSD is only 111 GB.

I ran a scandsk and found no errors on the HDD, and no fragmentation either. The total file size of Windows and all files I'm attempting to move over is 87.9 GB, so a regular cloning of the partition should work just fine.

I have no idea what's going wrong. I'm at the point where I would just do a full wipe and reinstall Windows on the SSD directly, but I have no disks since it was a free upgrade to Windows 10, which came from a free upgrade to Windows 8 from 7.
