HDD bay = green M.2 slot = redHDD bay = green M.2 slot = red

 

See pages 41-52. You can install an SSD 3 ways: 1. a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in place of the hard drive; or, 2. a SATA-3 M.2 like the Samsung Evo 860 in an adapter board in the hard drive bay; or, 3. a SATA-3 M.2 (also the type represented by an "Evo 860" from Samsung) in the dedicated M.2 slot circled in red in the picture I posted above. 

 

A couple caveats. 1. Your laptop will not be provided with the M.2 adapter board and they are hard to find and expensive; and 2. your laptop may not actually have the dedicated M.2 slot circled in red in the picture. You need to open it first to look. 

 

So, open it first. The only kind of SSD I can 100% say you can install is like the Samsung 860 Evo 2.5 inch variety:
