Hi,

The service manual does mention support for M2 SATA3 SSD. However, before buying drive you need to check if the slot is present on the motherboard, as sometimes notebooks that did not come with M2 SSD are missing physical slot on the motherboard.

On page 45 of the service manual, you can see the steps to remove the bottom cover and take a look:

M2 slotM2 slot

If the slot is present you can install an M2 SATA3 SSD such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar of your desired capacity.

You will need to install the OS on the SSD for performance gain.

 

Hope it helps,

David
