Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

After reading your post, I did go through the Product specifications of your product and found that you can install SSD in the optical drive slot. 

  • HP does not recommend upgrading or downgrading hardware parts or software that is bundled with the product as It may affect the manufacturer's warranty and performance, however, you could change the configuration at your own discretion.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
