Hi,
If you intend to do a clean install, use Rufus to create a bootable USB, then replace the old SSD with the new SSD, insert the USB disk, go to BIOS and change the boot order to make USB as your first boot device, save settings and install the OS.
There are two options in this tutorial, use the one you like:https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2376-create-bootable-usb-flash-drive-install-windows-10-a.html

Hi,
OS is shortened form for "Operating System", you need to press F2 as soon as you press the power button, yes, you can create a bootable USB disk using Windows media creation tool.
