Hi,

I do not believe your PC has an extra slot for M2 SSD. So what you can do is replace the 2.5" Hard Drive with a 2,5" SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo or similar.

On page 60 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive:

There is something mentioned about m.2 ssd in the user manual of my laptop so i just thought that it does support that

You can always remove the bottom cover and take a look. (page 53 of service manual)

If you replace the the 2,5" drive with an SSD it will give considerable boost to PC. The same boost as an M2 SATA3 SSD.
