Hi @Grunder000 

 

You can buy a larger M.2 SSD of the size you want, but to transfer the data you must clone it by buying an external M.2 disk adapter with USB connection and then use a cloning program. Now remember that the windows license is stored in the BIOS and when you install windows again it takes the license stored in the BIOS.
