So I've recently been going through a shit ton of trouble getting my os onto my ssd without a bootable usb or a windows disk. I've just done a fresh install of windows 10 on my existing harddrive, but its still at 259gb, where as my ssd is only 230-235gb.

Is there a software that can shrink the os maybe so I can clone it onto the ssd or no?
Or does anyone else have any other ideas on getting the os onto my ssd?

Then check what other shit there is on ur drive. There are programs that visually show u the used space and the paths to it like: http://www.diskspacefan.com. Remember your ssd should be 20-10% free to run at its fullest.

i thought when you do a fresh install everything deletes
