I would like to exchange my HDD hard drive from the laptop with an SSD, I would like to load Windows 10 onto the SSD via a USB stick, but I'm not sure how it pulls out with the Windows 10 key, whether it comes automatically or not?
If you buy an ssd from Samsung, you can use the tool for cloning on their website for free, just connect the new SSD via SATA cable and install it after cloning
You first have to deactivate the key on the existing system, then you can swap the HDD for the SSD and install Win10 using a stick
As soon as Win has contact with the Internet, it should activate itself automatically
Then write to the questioner how to connect an SSD to the notebook using a SATA cable
How do I do this with a USB stick?
How do i deactivate the key?

The article is a bit older, but it should still work
If Win10 has already been installed and activated on the laptop, the product key does not need to be re-entered when installing Win10 again.
In the window "Activate Windows" just click on "I do not have a product key", then it goes on… - The newly installed Win10 will be activated automatically.
You your SSD:
If it is new, it may need to be initialized before it can be used. - Temporarily connect it to a PC and look in Disk Management.
