Does the Acer Aspire A114-31-P87K support 2.5" or NVMe SSD?

Hi. I have been using the Acer Aspire A114-31-P87K for 2 years and the 32GB storage is not enough. I only have 5GB of space(i copied all my programs to a flash drive which is always plugged in the USB port), but still, I can't update Windows. And since its Windows 10 Release 1703(which is pretty old) Windows Update doesn't see my flash drive whenever I try to update Windows and it asks me to plug an external storage device to temporarily increase the size of the C drive.  No, I didn't ask this question about how to update Windows 10, nor did I ask how to clear more space in Windows 10. I recently bought 3 SSDs, one is 500GB and I can use it via USB, a a 2.5" SSD to put in my laptop. I also bought a NVME SSD in case the 2.5" SSD isn't compatible. So my question is, does my laptop support any 2.5" or NVMe SSD?

Looking at this teardown:

It looks like your device uses storage called emmc, which is soldered onto the board. As such I don't think it's possible to install either I'm afraid

What sort of usb to drive thing do you have? It may be possible to 'trick' windows into using it, but I wouldn't recommend that usually as there is a chance it will bawk the install if it tries to do the update and fails
