You can safely use Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD drive or Crucial

        https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct1000p5ssd8/ct18124197                    (1TB)

        https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct500p5ssd8/ct18121060                       (500GB)

 

You can install Windows 10 to SSD and it will activate itself automatically when online using Windows License key in BIOS of your machine

 

Regards.
