Yes. On that model the M.2 slot is present on models with an i7 processor and dedicated graphics chip according to the Service Manual.

See p. 2

 

However, the Manual is very vague as to the location of and access to the M.2 slot. 

 

Others have posted pictures and it seems the Manual is wrong and you do not need to remove and flip over the motherboard to get to it. The slot is right above the hard drive bay see p. 35. 

 

So you can add an M.2 mSSD module to your laptop sometimes called a "gumstick" hard drive. 

 

This is what it would look like:

On page 18:

Solid state drive (not illustrated).
256 GB M2 SATA-3 TLC 812708-001
512 GB M2 SATA-3 TLC 814224-001
512 GB M2 SATA-3 TLC 814224-001

Not know who sell this parts.

 

Is this one comfortable  for my laptop?

 

If so need any extra part to install?

HP Recommended

Yes that Samsung will work. All you will need is  a screw to hold it in the laptop and the laptop likely has one of those in there already.

So it is not fitting in the slot?

HP Recommended

Yes, What should i do not?

HP Recommended

Can you return it?

HP Recommended

No way to return it. Brought  from USA and i am in India.

Well it does look different from the picture I posted. I suspect your laptop cannot take a PCI-e M.2 but in all the ones I have tried they at least fit in the slot.
