As long as you have a clamshell XPS (i.e., not a 2-in-1), you can swap the drives (or make an image of the existing drive to an external hard drive and restore it to the replacement system.
There are adapters you can also use to connect drives to USB (the system probably uses an NVMe drive).
The only type of system where this won't be an option is on a 2-in-1 -- which does not have a removeable SSD (the SSDs in the 2-in-1 models are soldered to the system board).
