The specs of your machine is
https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c06103100
It only has Intel® Pentium® Silver N5000 (1.1 GHz base frequency, up to 2.7 GHz burst frequency, 4 MB cache, 4 cores) processor. Only machines with Core processors have option to install M.2 SSD drive.
You can replace existing 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA with a 2.5" SATA SSD using current standard drives on market today. For example

Hi, @Nishant9811
Notebooks with the Pentium processors do not have M.2 slots.
See chapter 1 of the service manual.
Your only option would be to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD (Link 1).
Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

Since you have to open up the notebook, you may want to consider replacing the 4 GB memory chip with an 8 GB memory chip to max out the memory.
