Hi,

 

Your machine has the following

 

 

  • Expansion Slots:
    • 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0)
    • 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen3.0)
    • One M.2 socket 1, key A
    • One M.2 socket 3, key M

    Yes, you can add one PCIe USB 3 card. There are many around (from 2 to 5 ports).  Please note: only buy the one with CD drivers or at least vendor can show you a link to download drivers.

     

    Regards.
