Hi@8Vip54, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

You can replace 256GB with a larger (capacity) M.2 NVMe SSD  With 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA

Please find   spec   https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c05348785

And also You can use the recovery flash drive created by the HP Recovery Manager to install the OS

Opening the notebook and upgrading it will not violate the warranty unless you damage something.    You need to be able to return the notebook to its original hardware configuration in the case of any required warranty repair
