Migrate OS to SSD

Hi, so here's my situation. On my last build I used only a HDD for everything. I just finished my new build and I got a 250gb SSD to put my OS on. However, I was an idiot and didn't put my OS in its own partition. So any disk manager software I use says that migrating it to the SSD will exceed the SSD's capacity and I don't know which folders I would select to get migrated over.

Now I've also looked into a clean install onto the SSD which I think is the better option. I'm wondering if there's a way to uninstall the OS off the HDD afterwards. Or would I have to do it before so the product key doesn't get any conflicts?

Thank you

Just disconnect the HDD during the clean install to the SSD. Then attach the HDD and delete whatever you wish. You will not have product key issues.
