windows - Shrinking NTFS partitition for SSD Migration

Goal: Migrate Windows 10 from 500GB spinner (hard disk drive) to 240GB SSD.


Procedure indicates partition not exceed SSD capacity. In this case ~200GB.


Windows Disk Management Console procedure enabled me to shrink it to 235.1 GB with 90% free space. Is there another utility that can overcome the obstacles that Windows Disk Management Console can not overcome?


I realize that 240GB capacity labels are typically less actual usable space, but are the number reported in the disk management labels number and not usable space?


Update: Good news: I was able to use Apricorn's EZGIG to clone the 235.1GB partition to the target 240GB drive. – gatorback just now
