Windows 10: Bought a replacement nvme ssd for hp omen 15 laptop due to old ssd malfunctioning, now what?

I bought a replacement NVMe SSD for my HP Omen laptop due to old ssd malfunctioning, now I need help on the next steps after replacing my SSD. I wasn't able to clone my OS from old SSD, and wasn't able to create a backup on windows. I need a step-by-step guide for a clean installation.

HP Omen replaceable SSD

It is a new laptop so I cannot find much information on it (HP Home), but would anyone know if a larger SSD can be put into the laptop. Otherwise I will go for the 512GB variant instead of the 256GB.

Thanks

 

Clone present nvme pcie ssd to replacement nvme pcie ssd?

I have a 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD (boot drive) that I want to replace with a higher capacity M.2 card.

Where do I put the new SSD during the NVMe to NVMe cloning process? My mobo only has one M.2 slot for NVMe SSD's so do I want to use an external adapter for one of the M.2 cards? If so, do you have a recommendation?

If you have solved this issue for your desktop or laptop I would like your advice on if and what extra hardware you needed during the cloning.

please remember that I am dealing with PCIe NVMe drives ONLY. NO Sata is involved except possibly for a connecting cable from the desktop to an adapter. I am experienced with cloning SATA III drives but cloning NVMe is a little
new to me.

Computer: Dell XPS 8920, 32GB ram.

Present SSD: KXG50ZNV512G NVMe Toshiba 512GB

New SSD: CT13049074 Crucial P1 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD 1TB (or 2TB if available soon) or similar storage device.

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 1809.

 

Moving Windows 10 from SSD to HDD due to SSD failing

Can someone help, My SSD has windows 10 on it, however due to the size of it (128GB) it's limited. I have purchased another SSD but due to my HP Omen Laptop having a digital license and no key visible, I would like my OS to be stored on my 1TB HDD which
is already installed on the laptop. if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
