if you want to use the new SSD as the boot drive, you need to clone 256gb SSD to 1tb SSD, switch out the 256gb SSD, set boot priority to the 1tb SSD and boot from it. after you successfully boot from 1tb SSD, you can choose to keep the 256gb SSD or uninstall it completely.
I want to change it to a 1TB m.2 SSD, but I see there are several different types. I’m not sure which m.2 SSD type is correct to replace the current 256GB m.2 SSD with a 1TB m.2 SSD. I should have restated this when I asked the question.
Thanks!
I went ahead and tried, Samsung EVO 960 1 TB (MZ-V6E1T0BW), which is M.2 PCIe NVMe works. For some details see: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/comment/570332/#Comment_570332
