The specs of your machine is

 

         https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05649792

 

It has  1 TB 5400 rpm SATA now, you can upgrade to 2TB using standard 2.5" HDD or 2.5" SSD.

 

>>>>> Also, what is a M2 Drive and how can it help?

Please read the following article

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

 

Your machine does not have M.2 slot for storage therefore M.2 is out of question for upgrade.  As mentioned above, you can use 2TB of 2.5" SSD such as Crucial MX500, Samsung 860EVO or similar.  For example
