GT13-1124 M.2 Slot Location

[Martrill]

I have read over the upgrade guide for my pc here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06867759.pdf

My concern is it says for AMD there is only 1 M.2 slot and 2 DDR4 slots, however i have the AMD version and I have 4 DDR4 slots and the location of my one M.2 slot that I can see is not in the same location as the where the AMD motherboard has it's slot. 

My questions is do I really have 3 expansion slots for more M.2 SSD's or not, I am not PC savvy and I have never built a PC before, hence why I chose to buy prebuilt. My concern now is I believe the second M.2 slot is behind my graphics card, but I don't want to remove it without confirming that there is a 2nd slot or not. If no one replies to this I am just going to order the M.2 slot and when it arrives, hope for the best that I have somewhere to put it into it, otherwise I will just take the loss and return the product. 

The reason I want to upgrade is because I only have 1 tb and I now only have 132 gb left but I want to play and download more game (like warzone) without my PC being overloaded with storage. Another concern is that if i do not have a 2nd slot, i will have to purchase a cloner to clone my current NvMe and that just adds more cost, as well as having to purchase a 2 tb NvMe rather than a 1 tb and just expanding what I currently have! Please reach out to me for help if you know anything aobut this!

According to the product specs your PC has support for 2 M.2 NVMe SSD's and 1 M.2 Wi-Fi adapter.

When you read the expansion slot information, you have to assume you are looking at a bare motherboard with nothing installed in the slots.

So, if your PC already has a M.2 NVMe SSD installed and a M.2 Wi-Fi adapter installed, then you only have one free M.2 NVMe slot remaining for another NVMe SSD.

The 2nd SSD slot is hidden by the graphics card which you will have to remove to be able to install a second SSD.
