Right now my ebook library takes up almost half of the drive space and of course it just growing.

Upgrading Windows is a separate thing to upgrading an SSD. You should have a backup anyway and simply restore that on new 512 SSD.
Has it no option for adding also a laptop SATA drive (SSD or HDD)?
My laptop 256 GB SSD has 226 GB free. I can't see how the size of your ebook library is an issue. It would be simpler even to add a USB3.0 external HDD (seems to have little effect on Calibre or video performance) if there is no internal space for extra storage.
When I was replacing my November 2016 laptop recently I specifically got one that had the space and connector for a SATA drive as well as the included NVMe PCIe 256G SSD. Adding the 1TB SATA HDD (I could have put a SATA SSD) was simple and boot time is about 9s instead of 7s. No difference to running any program.
Crippling all your ebooks so they won't work on an ereader, plus the time involved seems strange.
