Yes a 2.5 inch SATA SSD can be used anywhere a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive is used. So the laptop is from an age when SSDs were not yet the thing they are now so SSD was not offered. You just do a replacement of the hard drive but replace with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD such as Samsung 860 Evo or WD Blue. Good luck.

The replacement can be done. See pp. 70-95 of the Manual here:

As far as reinstalling the system Windows 10 will reactivate without a Key Code. You can download an installer usb drive from the Microsoft Media Creation Tool site and use that to reinstall.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
