Maybe. Here's the Service Manual:

Start on p. 43 to remove the back cover and inside is this:

 

Red circle is M.2 slotRed circle is M.2 slot

 

There is SUPPOSED TO be a slot for an M.2 SATA SSD HOWEVER, this is often missing on specific motherboards in models covered by the Manual. Since yours is an AMD A6 processor, I would say no better than 50/50 you have the slot. So open it up before you buy anything. If the slot is there you can install something like this:

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