Your notebook does have a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.
If you can get this model drive in Saudi Arabia, it is the one I recommend:
This is the 1 TB model. It also comes in 500 GB and 250 GB capacities.
Below is the link to the service manual:

Dear Paul_Tikkanen, thanks for your quick response. this laptop model I got it from Saudi Arabia, is it possible to use both drive1 TB HDD along with 1 TB of SSD PCIe NVMe on M.2

You're very welcome.
Yes, you can use both but when you install the NVMe SSD, temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive so the Windows boot manager automatically switches to boot from the NVMe SSD.
Otherwise as long as Windows is on the 2.5" drive, the notebook will always want to boot from the 2.5" drive first and not the SSD.
After you have run the notebook for a bit on the NVMe SSD, shut down, restart, etc., you can reconnect the 2.5" drive and if the Windows boot manager doesn't switch back to booting from that drive first you should be good to go.
If it goes back you will need to clean the disk using the Dispart utility, format it and use the 2.5" drive for storage only.
