InMemory Tables are introduced in SQL 2014 and they are lot improved in SQL 2016.
While the surface area has improved in SQL 2016 compared to 2014 such as Foreign key constraints can be defined between Inmemory Tables, Indexes can have NULL columns, table can be altered etc.
There are still some restrictions in what you can do with SQL 2016 InMemory Tables and one such thing is, modifying the primary key of the table. Typically, we should not be modifying the primary key of the table but if there is ever a need to do that, it cannot be done in SQL 2016 InMemory Tables.

USE InMemoryDB
Go
Create Table InMemoryTable(Sno int not null primary key nonclustered hash with (bucket_count=1000),sname varchar(20))
with (memory_optimized=ON,Durability=Schema_ONLY)
Insert into InMemoryTable
Values (1,'SomeName')
---Errors out
Update InMemoryTable set sno=2 where Sno=1
You will get error as below:
