If you intend to keep your windows on the same drive it's already installed, then no reinstallation is needed. Popping in the M.2 SSD will simply add an additional empty drive in which you can store your files.

You don't have to install windows to the m.2. Just install the m.2, make sure bios settings configured to use the m.2 properly, if it doesn't show up with the other drives in windows explorer then it needs to be initialized in drive management.
  Depending on your mobo m.2 may disable sata ports on the mobo, usually the top 2
