Windows 10: Move my os from a HDD into a SSD

Greetings. What's the best FREE tool/method to simply move the os from a 1tb HDD into a 120gb SSD? I don't need to save personal files or anything since the HDD will remain as a secondary drive. But almost every single guide I found is suggesting using a paid software (like aomei professional), but since I'm keeping the HDD I don't feel like I need to clone the system at all. I simply want to keep the windows 10 license that I own on the HDD into the SSD
