Yeah it has an M.2 slot. It is a 2280 form factor and can work with either SATA or PCIe/NVME M.2 SSDs set in a dual storage configuration with the hard drive. 

 

Service Manual 

 

Start on p. 40 to remove the back cover. 

 

This video shows how to add an M.2 SSD:

What type will fit into this laptop? see photo1234.jpg12345.jpg

HP Recommended

Either "M" keyed which is what you will see with PCIe/NVME modules (the fastest type) OR B + M which is what you see usually on SATA type. Even though the slot has just two chambers, the 3 prongs on a B + M will fit in there fine. The video shows a B + M being installed. 

 

I said above its the 2280 length and width.
