Windows 10: Upgrading SSD

I recently ordered a new SSD and before I do anything insensible I want to be sure what I am trying to do is legit, I am currently using windows on a 256GB SSD which I want to upgrade to a 500GB and run windows from there, is this possible with the activation key I am currently using? Or do I need to buy a new one? If it is possible, what is the best way to format the old drive, or would you reckon cloning the drive is the way to go?

I am not sure if this is the right sub, I hope it is.

Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

Hi

My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.
