Upgrading the crankset - Scott Aspect 960
First of all, a big thank you for everybody who can help out with the question!
The bike is Scott Aspect 960: scott-sports.com/gb/en/product/scott-aspect-960-red-bike
Currently, the highest gear ratio is 36/11. I'm looking to upgrade that to go on a slower cadence on long gravel routes at a higher speed.
Would replacing the front cassette with this one do the job: bike-discount.de/en/shop/crank-2-3-x-8-speed-409/l-24
The shifter for the crankset has 2 gears listed, but the crankset here has three gears. What are the solutions for upgrading?

When we need to go with a 2 ring crankset, would this work:
bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/shimano/FC-M315-2.html
modernbike.com/shimano-alivio-m415-42t-7-8-speed-outer-chainring
I'm anyways looking to upgrade the crankset to a Shimano one, so would it fit with this larger chainring?
As I understand, I would need to put on a longer chain then as well?
