I have HP ENVY Laptop 13-ad0xx with M.2 1 TB
I don't know if I can also install SSD as extra storage beside the current M.2 which is already installed.
Does the motherboard ready for this kind of upgrade?
and how I can check if my motherboard has extra SATA port to install an SSD drive or not?
Thanks

No this particular 13 inch model uses a single M.2 SSD as its storage and there is no space or port for a secondary storage device. This is what the inside looks like:
red arrow points to M.2
All I can add is that there is a micro-SD card slot on the left side as you are looking at the screen and micro-SDs come in fairly large capacities these days.
The speed of this would be roughly equivalent to a SATA spinning hard drive so can be used as storage up to half a TB.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
