Yes, you can replace 1TB HDD with 2.5" SSD (1TB or 2TB) using standard 2.5" SSD's around such as

2TB:

Hi,

Just to add some info. You can replace the 2,5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD of your desired capacity and brand. The best considered the Samsung 860 Evo.

Example:

On page 49 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive:

You will need to reinstall the OS which you can do with a clean install by creating a bootable pendrive with OS on it from Microsoft,

Hope it helps,
