You have a 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive now so if you want a 2.5 inch disk you cannot ADD it you would have to replace the hard drive with it. But yes, you can do that. Your laptop also has an M.2 "gumstick" disk slot you could use to have a second drive which you would want to use for installing Windows as it would be somewhere between 5 and 25 times as fast as a spinning hard drive. 

 

Post back for details if your interest is piqued.

First of all , thank you for your reply !

So; If i Want that "gumstick" , it is possible to have that AND 1TB HDD ?

Also, what is the difference between 2.5" SSD and this stick ?
If i get for example 120GB stick (sorry for calling it stick :D). It Works as normal hard drive? Lastly is it plug-and-playy style thing?

Thank you so much !

And in scale 1-10 how hard it is to install that m.2 ? Do you know, If i lose warranty or not, If i add memory .

You can have both and it will not harm your warranty as long as you don't damage anything. On a 1-10 scale make this about a 5.5. I am working with another user right now in another thread and he butchered up a screw which is now stripped. I take it for granted I have done it so much but for some people a screwdriver is a deadly weapon.
