Upgrade SSD Before 1st Boot

Hey guys quick question,

 

I`m buying a new laptop this summer and i have a question concerning the SSD and Windows. So, this laptop comes with only 256Gb of NVMe storage and naturally that`s not enough for me so i want to get an upgrade. But the laptop only has a single NVMe slot so i would have to take off the original SSD with the Windows installation on it. How would i go about doing the upgrade? Would i have to buy windows again just so i can upgrade? Would it be better to upgrade before 1st boot or after? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Just make a fresh install on the new SSD and log in to your Microsoft account, you should be just fine

Id just do a reinstall of windows.

 

The key is stored on the machine its self so it will activate automatically when you install it again.
