As long as the SSD is being installed into the same exact system, the easiest option here in my opinion would be to clone your internal SSD to the external SSD, then swap the larger external into the laptop. There are plenty of walkthroughs online about how to do this.
This article covers cloning a Windows 10 drive, but the same steps can be followed for a Windows 11 install as well.
