Does Aspire 5 A515-51G-5504 have an m.2 slot for a 2nd SSD?

Before my purchase, I read exciting stories about Aspire 5 and their alluring, intoxicatingly useful expansion bays I could use to add an additional HDD or SSD for extra storage. On the model I bought, I popped open the 2.5" bay and found it already full of SSD from the factory.

Without me having to crack open the bottom to find out, does anyone know for sure if this model has an m.2 slot I can use to add a 2nd drive?

    This model should have slots for two NGFF(M.2) Card. One for WiFi (half card) and other for One for SSD (full or half card).

    Sharanji, thank you.

    I know the WiFi card, of some type, is in the machine because I have used WiFi already. Do you know where I can see a picture of what the available m.2 slot would look like?'
