Hi:

If this is your model notebook (there is no such model as the one you posted)...

HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p211ne Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

Then yes, there is a M.2 slot but IMHO, it is not worth the trouble to install a M.2 SSD.

First of all, the M.2 slot only supports SATA M.2 SSD's, and replacing the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD would perform equally as well.

The main reason for my opinion is that you have to take the whole notebook apart and remove the motherboard to install the M.2 SATA SSD.

Below is the link to the service manual. 

The SSD removal and replacement procedure can be found in chapter 6 starting on page 78.
