Yes, the motherboard has "One M.2 socket 3, key M". The key M denotes that you can add a NVMe, M.2, SSD. It will most likely be a 2280. I suggest Samsung products. They seem to work best with HP BIOS/UEFI. Here is a HP Knowledge Base article to explain how to transition from your HDD to a new M.2. Here is a guide that explains the M.2 Keys and Sockets.
