Hi:

 

Your notebook would use a 2.5" SATA SSD--a direct swap for the hard drive in there now.

 

I think a SSD should work, but I can't guarantee it.

 

You can shop for compatible SSD's for your model at the link below...

Your notebook will only support a SATA SSD. 

 

There are no M.2 slots in your PC.

 

That is the best I can do to help.
