I am wanting to upgrade to an SSD. Does my laptop have an M.2 SSD Slot? Many Thanks for all you guys do! I want to install a drive that will be faster at the connection not just hardware alone.

Hi,

Your PC does not have an extra slot for M2 SSD. So what you can do is replace the 2,5" hard drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860evo. It will have the same speed as a M2 SATA3 drive and will give a boost to the PC,

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

Hope it helps,
