When I built my computer, I made a huge mistake which was to install windows on a 60gb SSD. Is there any way for me to transfer everything from that drive to another SSD with more storage without having to reinstall windows or losing data?

How is that a mistake? I have a 60GB SSD and offload most of my main storage onto HDDs and some stuff I need to operate quickly on my SSD.
With Windows, you can even move libraries off C:\ to other drives and use symbolic links to offload more.

one and done
You should always do a fresh install to make sure the alignments etc are correct, also windows will be happier
You won't lose any data unless you're stupid
>can data be transferred between drives

Make an image of your small SSD, write the image to a larger SSD, expand the partition. There are various tools to do imaging, for Windows Reflect is pretty easy to use. I don't know if it will expand the actual partition or not, you can do that from gparted on your live Linux distro of choice.

Can I omit partitions from cloning in Clonezilla?
For example, I want to go from a 1TB hard drive to 256GB SSD, I already have the Windows partition on its own 200GB partition, but the tools I've tried only lets me migrate the entire drive or nothing

And furthermore, the rest of the 1TB drive is a second partition of data that I don't want to delete
