Your Service Manual:

 

Manual 

 

Start on p. 43 to remove the back cover and inside it is configured as so:

 

M.2 slot circled in redM.2 slot circled in red

 

So you can place a SATA 2280 form factor M.2 SSD in the slot circled in red. Something like a Samsung 860 Evo. But PLEASE open first and then buy and then install just to be sure the slot was added at the factory. Very occasionally we find one missing. 

 

You could also have a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in th ehard drivce bay and move th ehard drive to the optical bay with an adapter but that is less desireable and more expensive to do. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thanks Huffer for your reply and sharing service manual. I am happy to know that my laptop supports both SDD and HDD at the same time.
