Im very pleased with this product, the only thing it needs is a ssd. I would like to know if I can install a ssd or m2, or anything to speed up the system. Thanks in advance

Service Manual:
HDD 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:
