@mztee26,

You need to specify the exact model number of this HP product, or at least the product number.

Your NVMe device. called an SSD (solid state Device), no moving parts. Requires an M.2 socket 3,  key  M.

An example of an SSD  hard drive, no moving parts. Requires SATA power &header cables, adapter tray.

@mztee26,

If you purchase an external M.2 NVMe to USB3.0 adapter you will be able to clone the 128 to the 256.

After the clone process, all you do is swap the devices.  At the end, you have a 128 in the adapter as storage.

If you go the create windows, you have to install all drivers, software / hardware (purchased) and product keys.
