Clone M2 Drive or?

I have a Lattitude 3500 and it has a M2 drive and is pre-loaded with Windows 10 pro. 

I wish to upgrade the SSD to a 1TB M2. 

This is a Gift. 

I would like to ideally have it so when the 1tb drive is booted up, it runs the windows installer and they can get it up. 

If I put in a blank 1tb they will need to install windows. Is there a way the windows installer can be loaded on the 1tb SSD or can I sector by sector clone them? I guess this will not met up Secure Boot as Windows is not installed yet. 

I would want them to turn it on like it is currently, and go through the Windows set up, I do not want to install Windows for them or make them manually install Windows. 

I could not ordered it with a 1TB due to a global shortage.
