Hi:

Your PC's motherboard has support for one M.2 NVMe SSD which is already occupied by the 256 GB NVMe SSD your PC comes with.

When you look at the expansion slot info, that pertains to a motherboard with nothing installed.

The motherboard has support for one M.2 SSD and one M.2 Wi-Fi adapter...both occupied in your model PC.

Thank you for the help, probably bit of a faff to take out existing one and replace it so will use an external drive for extra storage

You're very welcome.

It depends on your experience with working on PC's, reinstalling operating systems and whatnot.

You can buy a 1 TB NVMe SSD for 64 quid and replace the 256 GB drive with it.

Samsung 980 1 TB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3.500 MB/s) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V1T0BW)...

You can back up your files and use the HP cloud recovery tool to reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with your PC on the new drive.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.
