Hi to all, can you please help me. Im planning to replace the HDD of my laptop and upgrade to lets say 1TB SSD drive, but i dont know where to buy and how to buy the item that will perfectly suit to my laptop. Thank you

Here is the Service Manual:

Looks like this with rear cover removed:

red circle = M.2 slot

So if you have a regular mechanical hard drive now it can be replaced with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. There is also an M.2 SSD slot that can take either a SATA or NVME 2280 form factor M.2 SSD. 

Examples:

https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-500GB-NAND-NVMe-PCIe/dp/B07J2WBKXF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=M...

So if your hard drive is still good, you can keep it and add an M.2 SSD or replace it with the 2.5 inch SSD. The mounting hardware you have for the Hard Drive will also mount and attach the 2.5 inch SSD and you need no mounting hardware for an M.2 SSD. 

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

Sir that was so helpful thank you very much. I have a friend who has already a Pioneer APS-SL3N 1TB Internal SATA III SSD, can i install this to my HP Laptop as replacement to the original one?

I am not familiar with Pioneer SSDs but I looked it up and yes it is the right kind and will replace your hard drive as I stated above.
