Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I wish to seek clarification that whether I have to get a new SSD replaced with the new one or I can reuse the currently installed SSD with additional storage (if extra slot for SSD is available).

 

If I have to replaced the existing SSD then how I can clone the preinstalled Windows in the new SSD as there was no recovery CD received with my Notebook.

These units shipped with up to a 2TB NVMe drive according to the maintenance and service guide http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06155404

 

Best option is to purchase an external usb harddrive, create a recovery image to that, replace the internal drive and then perform a system recovery. It is good practice to backup to a local source anyway so having an external drive is a life saver.
