Your laptop can hold a 2.5" SATA SSD like the Samsung 860 Evo. So a clear yes to your question.
It can also be expanded with an m.2 NVMe SSD, in case you want to keep your hard drive for more total storage.

  • Note: the HDD might be 9mm thick, where most SSDs are 7mm, so padding might be required. It's readily and cheaply available as something you stick on the SSD
