Omen 25L Desktop GT12-0197c. Product # 13Z02AA. I have a 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD. Looking at the product specifications I can't tell if there is a way to increase SSD capacity without replacing this drive. Adding capacity without replacing would be the best option because the operating system is installed on this 256 GB drive. Any help would be appreciated since I can't even figure out what to do.

According to the spec for your system you have a 256gb SSD and a 1TB HDD
When you install the game you should be able to specify where it can be installed. Some games such as a steam, the library allows the database to be on a different drive. You could put the executable code and user data on the 256 and the database and imagery on the hard drive. Alternately the full install on the HDD.
There can be problems replacing the boot drive. I recommend the split install.
If your games are on steam you can uninstall and then re-install and specify the HDD for the database of imagery. Just be sure the uninstall does not delete the game history.
