Hi,

No, it does not have an extra M2 slot.

What you can do is replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" SATA3 Samsung 860 Evoor similar of your desired capacity

Ex:

It will give a great boost to the everyday performance of the PC.

 

I would also add another 4GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM in the empty slot
