Hi:

 

Below is the link to the Crucial memory/SSD report for your notebook.

 

https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/hp-omen-17-an118ur

 

You can install a max of 2 x 16 GB of memory for a total of 32 GB.

 

The W10 product key is in the BIOS, so you can replace the drive and not be concerned with reinstalling W10.

 

The key will automatically be picked up by W10 during the installation.

 

You should also be able to use the Cloud recovery tool to reinstall W10 on the larger capacity SSD.

 

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...
