Hi,

You can replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860 Evo or similar. There is no extra M2 SSD slot in the notebook.

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Inch-Internal-MZ-76E1T0B-AM/dp/B078DPCY3T/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=860+evo...

On page 60 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive:

You will need to install the OS on the the SSD either by using recovery disks or HP cloud recovery

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06162205

migrating an image. The manufacurerof the SSD will usually provide software (example Samsung migration software from Samsung site) and you will need a USB to SATA adapter such as this

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATA-Drive-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00HJZJI84/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=...

Or you can perform a clean install by using Microsoft media you can download from Micrsoft

Hope it helps,

David
