Thank's for answer. 

I expected real photos of the disassembled laptop for 100% certainty what type of SSD I need to purchase.  

The service manual provides general information on the entire line of laptops without specifically mentioning the model I need. It turns out that without prior disassembly, I definitely can’t find out if there is an M.2 slot.
