No. SATA M.2 only and possibly not even that. 

 

Here is the Service manual:

Open it up and you see this:

 

red circle = M.2 slotred circle = M.2 slot

 

Open it up before you make any purchase of upgrade parts. In some cases this slot was not actually soldered onto the motherboard at the factory. 

 

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

But Sir , SATA M.2 have 2 (M+B key) notch and slot on my motherboard is single notch type(M key).

Will SATA M.2 SSD Fit Physically in that slot ?

 

As per the Service Manual Max. Speed is 535MB/s,which is the Speed of SATA M.2,so if I use use M.2 NVMe drive then what happen ?
