Hi,
There is no M2 slot in the notebook for SSD.
What you should do is replace the
replace the hard drive with a 2.5"SATA3 SSD of your preferred brand and capacity
Example:
You can then either clone the old drive using the software which comes with the SSD or you can perform a clean install of the OS by creating a bootable USB drive from Microsoft
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
and then install HP support assistant for drivers and more

On page 42 of the service manual, you can see the steps to replace the drive.

Max RAM is 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz (2x8GB) even if service manual mention 8GB
There are two slots and at the moment you have one 4GB module. You can purchase from your preferred brand.

First, try not to keep on posting the same question and stuff!
Your PC does not have an M2 slot. It only has slot for the WIFI module. It does not have slot for M2 SSD.
If you believe it does, you can send me a picture of the slot.

David
