Its specs

 

            https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05221023

 

You can

 

   (a) replace existing 1TB HDD with 1TB or 2TB 2.5" SSD and add 250GB M.2 SATA SSD to your machine

   (b) or simply add 1TB or 2TB M.2 SATA SSD and keep existing 1TB HDD

 

Note: in theory the capacity limit is very high but physical size would be around 2TB. You can use the following drives (they make both 2.5" and M.2 formats):

 

                   https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-mx500-ssd

                  https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/

           Or similar from reputable vendors.
