Yes models with an i7 processor and 4 gig video cards have an M.2 slot but yours has the 2 gig video so there is no M.2 slot. The only way to have an SSD is to remove the main SATA hard drive and replace it with a 2.5 inch SATA-III SSD. 

 

See p. 55 of the Manual here for instructions:

This is a medium-difficult upgrade and is not really intended for end users to self-help. The warranty will be put at risk. But post back if you want more help with it.
