Question Can't make SSD Boot drive

[SLushie]

I've tried everything but EaseUS won't let me copy my os onto my 128gb ssd which has nothing on it. Keeps saying not enough space

How large is the capacity of the source drive? That is the likely issue.

It's a 2tb drive but I deleted everything I could off of it and I tried to delete windows and wipe my PC to reinstall with ssd as boot drive but it wouldn't work

Get the latest image of Win 10 from MS and write to a USB drive. Then boot from that USB drive (disconnect the HDD before installing Windows, you'll only have the SSD connected until after Windows is installed) and install Windows from scratch.

This should allow you to install Windows to the SSD and make it your default boot device.

How much actual space is consumed on your current C drive?
Cloning/migrating into a 120GB SSD, that number needs to below 85GB.
