You have an M.2 slot for M.2 2280 form factor SATA only not NVME. Use that slot to add an SSD:

128 gig is not enough. You are going to want to install the OS onto the SSD and most people find 128 gigs too confining. Even 256 is barely enough. I suggest at least a 512 gig SATA M.2 SSD. Leave the mechanical hard drive (circled in red) in the laptop for storage. While a DVD drive caddy will "work" it is a compromise solution to be avoided at all costs.
