Hi:

Your notebook does not have any M.2 slots to install a SSD.

If you want to upgrade to a SSD, you will need to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.

Below is the link to the service manual...

Hi:

By golly, you're right.

That is indeed a M.2 slot.

That slot would only support SATA M.2 drives, not NVMe.

See chapter 1, page 3 of the service manual.
