I am thinking of getting a bigger ssd and clone my boot drive into it... Then unplug old boot ssd (working) to keep as back up..

Samsung SSD have promo currently, for EVO 970 500GB is around $10X.
Recommend do a clean install as if the SSD is corrupted, Windows files etc. are also corrupted.
Need not worry about Windows license as if you have activate the key before, it will reactivate on it's own.

Windows 10 license key is not like Windows 7 where you need the physical key to activate.
The key is tied to the motherboard so long you have a valid key after you install Windows on
the new SSD than it will activate itself no need to enter the key.

Just get a 2.5" drive SSD will do fine, difference between NVME and SSD isn't noticeable.
Can get Samsung 870 Evo.

NVME will only benefit if you transfer a lot of files and video editing.
Other than that SATA SSD will do fine.
