I want to place an SSD inside my laptop to make it run quicker. Is it possible to add an SSD or M.2 to this board?

Yes, you can install a 2.5” SSD drive: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatibl

Hi, Looking at the service manual for the laptop, taken from this webpage if you wish to insert a M.2 SSD rather than a sata SSD you’ll need to change the drive connector board in the laptop Scroll to p.50-52 to view the HDD removal/connection procedure and to p.55-56 to view the M.2 SSD removal/connection procedure. On p.56 you’ll find the part number for the M.2 SSD drive connector board. If you wish to install a M.2 drive, search online for the M.2 SSD drive connector board using the part number only (850946-001) in the search term of your browser, you’ll get results for suppliers of the part
