Yes, you can, changing to an SSD will not affect the license. You have options for transferring.

Windows 10 will activate on that machine with no issues as long as the original version was activated. The laptop will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Servers and will activate automatically once you are on the Web.

If you are installing onto the SSD with Installation Media created from the Media Creation Tool Available from HERE by clicking the 'Download Tool Now' button, then Select the option 'I am reinstalling Windows on this PC' . . .

I Hope this Answers your Question!
