Hi:

 

Your notebook does not have a M.2 slot to add a SATA SSD.

 

Only the models that came with SATA M.2 SSD's from the factory have the slot.

 

Your only option would be to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.
