Its supposed to have a slot for an M.2 2280 form factor SSD BUT in many cases the slot is not actually present. Here is a screenshot from a youtube video on this model illustrating the problem:

Here is the Service manual:

Start on p. 29 to remove the back cover. IF the slot is present it will take a 2280 form factor SATA type M.2 disk such as the Samsung 860 Evo:

So long story short, open it and check for the M.2 slot BEFORE buying anything. Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
