No. Sorry. Here is your Manual:
See p. 52. You have one slot in the laptop and either a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD OR a SATA M.2 can fit in that slot. The M.2 uses an adapter or the 2.5 inch device used a different adapter and all/any drives connect with a ribbon cable to a single zif attachment point.
The only way to add a hard drive would be to replace the DVD writer drive with a caddy designed to hold a hard drive in that space. This is not ideal as the port where the optical drive connects does not support full speed transfers. A lot of people do it and it works for storage but not if you need full-speed disk access. The adapters are relatively cheap and easy to install. Post back if you want help finding one and installing it.

HP does not make or support that option. You have to go to the aftermarket.
