How do you add an ssd in a R5-571T-59DC? Is there a space to add and ssd or do I have to remove the current hdd?

Also, can I put an ssd in there as the OS drive and have a hdd as a secondary drive?

I believe this is what you're looking for:

There is an empty m.2 slot available, so you can have both an hdd and an ssd installed at the same time.

Thanks for the help. Do you or anyone know if I can install the OS on the m.2 drive and have that drive be my primary drive while having the 1 TB hdd as my secondary drive?

You definitally can. Plug both in, and clone the hdd to the ssd. There are a lot of free software that clone hard drives.
After verifying that you can boot from the ssd, you can format the hddd and use it as secondary.
