I tried to move my OS to my SSD using EaseUS but it says that the dimension of source disk is different from my destination disk, I have a 1tb HDD with only windows and a 220GB SSD, i also tried to clone Disk but it is saying the same thing.

if your running windows 10 you dont need to clone if all that on the hard drive is the os. use microsoft media creation tool here.

use a 8g usb stick make a bootable windows installer.
unplug the hard drive so only the ssd is shown.
install windows 10 when it ask for code click skip it pull it in when it logs into the net.
boot from the ssd after windows 10 updates itself if it fine power down and connect the hard drive.
from windows disk managment clean old windows off the hard drive.
 
cloning takes everything from the HDD so if you clone a 1TB HDD you will only be able to restore it to a 1TB or bigger HDD. if for some reason you can't do a clean install like is described above then try creating a disk image of the drive because with a disk image you can restore it to almost any size drive. im not sure if the program you are using has an option to image but i use the free version of macrium reflect for disk imaging
 

If I'm understanding this right -
  • C: - is your clone source and
    E: - is your clone target
Right?
For cloning to be possible, target must be empty. That means all partitions on target drive have to be deleted first.
Can you post screenshot from Disk Management?
