Is there a way to move solely windows onto an SSD because it doesn't have enough space to clone everything on my hard drive? If not, workarounds that won't get rid of all of my files and be a huge pain?

Patch My PC

Transfer only Windows? Nope. Are all of you files only on your HDD? If your HDD fails, do you have a backup of your files? What?!? You're not backing up your stuff? This is very, very bad, my friend. Back up your files to some kind of external drive (Mr. Bezos sells them for $50-$60), take your HDD out of the computer, install Windows on the SSD (I recommend using Patch My PC to reinstall 3rd-party programs quickly), put the HDD back into the computer and format it, then copy your personal files back to the HDD. You can then use FreeFileSync to keep your files backed up and updated between your internal and external hard drives so you won't lose all your shit when your 5 year-old HDD dies.
