Add SSD

[Tateg]

I'd like to add a SSD and keep the existing HHD installed for data. Do I just add a M.2 SSD to the open M.2 slot and change the bios so it will boot from it and add a second drive or is there something I'm missing. The 500 Gig Samsung 850 EVO for $139 looks like a possibility. Thanks in advance.

Your machine has

• Chipset: combined with the processor
• Memory sockets: 2 x DDR3L
• Expansion Slots:
  • One M.2 socket 1, key A

There is NO slot for M.2 SSD, the M.2 slot socket 1, key A above is ONLY suitable for something like a Wifi card (won't work with SSD) and it is alread occupied by an

Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) 2 x 2 technology

    Interface: M.2
    Transmission standards: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
    Dual band: 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
