Hi,

There is no extra M2 slot in the notebook. You can replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SSD which would give a great boost to performance. You should also upgrade the 4GB of RAM, by adding a 4GB module of DDR3L 1600MHz in the empty slot, to a total of 8GB (max 16GB).

On page 60 and 56 of the service manual, you can see the steps to perform such an upgrade

You would need to reinstall the OS on the SSD.

 

Hope it helps,

David
