Not enough unallocated disk space on the target disk

On the EaseUS Todo Backup software, I am trying to move windows to a hybrid drive from a much slower HDD. I uninstalled almost all of my games, so I have more free space on my hybrid than the entirety of the HDD, including free space. When I tried it, it said not enough unallocated space on the hard disk. So, I made 500GB of the hybrid unallocated so it could move over to that space. Same message. Any suggestions?

'random software'.
If this is applications, they'll probably need to be reinstalled anyway. PArtitions, drives...this may all be different after the cloning operation.
Leading to the applications not working.


How much space is consumed on the source drive?
How much space is available in whatever partition you made in the new hybrid?
How large total is the hybrid?
 

The source drive is consuming 401GB, the partition on the hard drive has 501GB, the hybrid is 1TB total, HDD 680GB total
 


401GB going into a 500GB partition...may be problematic. The migration process needs significant free space to do its thing.
401GB is right on the edge.

What else is on this hybrid drive?
 

Games. There is still 178GB left on it free, so should i partition another 100 to see if it works?
 


I would move EVERYTHING off that drive, and do the migration to the whole drive.
Later, move things back.
 

Is there a software to do this? The one I was using only lets me move from the HDD to the hybrid.
 


Depending on exactly what is on there...copy/paste (not cut/paste)
Once the copy is verified, then you delete from the source drive, and make it one large partition.

So what, exactly, is on this drive?
 

Games and random software, thats about it. Pasting it in the HDD is set to take 14 hours 🙁

Ok, makes sense.
