Question: o I just got a 500GB Kingston NVME SSD and I want to make it my boot drive, the only problem is whenever I try to migrate my OS from my HDD to my SSD, it says that the SSD is too small. I suspect this is because I have used all but 62GB of the free space on my HDD making the total size of all my files bigger than the capacity of my SSD. I was wondering if there was a way to make my SSD my boot drive but still keep all my important files on my HDD?

You can either delete/move things off the HDD until it is less than 400GB. Or you can do a clean install without the HDD connected. You then have to reinstall most programs.
