Hi,

It is not possible to insert an PCIe SSD in the WLAN slot.

The only option is to replace the 2.5" Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860 Evo.

On page 46 of the service manual, you can see how to replace the drive

Hi Iomare,

ahh, it's a pity. NVMe is much faster than SATA. This notebook don't have DVD slot for changing to SSD so I was trying found something different.
Reason why cannot be installed is it space there ?

Thank you

The reason is the socket is configured as a single purpose not a general M.2 slot.

Hi Huffer,

That's a shame.
Thank you for an explaining.
Have a good day.

You're welcome.

You should still consider replacing the hard drive with an SSD which will give a good boost to the system.

All the best,

David
