The only way to have an M.2 SSD in the laptop is to remove the hard drive and get a special adapter board to use a SATA M.2 SSD in the 2.5 inch bay. There is no dedicated M.2 slot on the motherboard. See p. 66 in the Manual here:

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

You should be able to add M.2 SATA SSD to your machine and keep old HDD for user data/files. M.2 SATA III WD Green is one option.

No. You can put an M.2 SATA in it just not both a 2.5 inch and M.2 at the same time. M.2 uses an adapter board placed in the 2.5 bay.
