Its an 11 inch laptop and there is only a single storage disk bay. To put in an M.2 disk you have to get an adapter board and cable and replace the hard drive not add to the hard drive. See p. 36 of the Manual here:
The cost of the adapter board and cable is unnecessary as a 2.5 inch SATA SSD is the same operating speed. If you want SSD speed in these machines you would be best served to replace the mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD like this:
$87 for a 500 gig SSD is a very good deal. You need no additional hardware to mount the 2.5 inch SSD. You can clone the existing software install over to the new SSD or clean install Windows 10. No Key Code needed just make an install disk from the Media Creation Tool site. Speed will be improved dramatically for your kids. Maximum sized SSD is whatever you can find on the market and wish to spend. I have seen 4 TB 2.5 inch SSDs and 2 TBs are commonly available.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Macrium Reflect Free. Several other Experts here recommend it all the time and I just used it myself on my own laptop and found it easy to use and very effective. A clone from a 500 gig hard drive to a 240 gig SSD will require some special techniques to make sure the system partition is not shrunk too much to allow the cloned disk to boot.
