Hi,
The service manual mentions support for M2 SATA3 SSD. However, you will need to remove the bottom cover and take a look, as sometimes notebooks that did not come with M2 SSD are missing the physical slot on the motherboard.
On page 29 of the service manual you can see the steps to remove the bottom cover:

M2 slot
So, if the slot is there, you can install an M2 SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo of your desired capacity.
If the slot is not present, you should replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD.
You will need to install the OS on the SSD for the great performance boost in everyday use.
Hope it helps,
David
