Most new systems are activated through a hardware key stored that is read of the motherboard during setup.

As long as your current install has been activated, when fresh installing, on the new SSD, skip the product key entry, and install windows. It will activate, no problem, as the product key is tied to motherboard.

Before you change (to) the SSD, turn the machine on, let it load up, connect it to the internet and both activate Windows as well as make sure it works. If it doesn't, and you don't know that, and change to the SSD you may well have inadvertently voided your warranty by opening it and/or blame game.

edit- as above, after it registers, your key is based on a hardware ID for the machine and will automatically activate when you connect to the internet after install.

If they are in the US, they cannot void your warranty, for opening it.

True, but they can play the "you broke it" because it was opened up.
