Hi,
You have a M.2 SATA SSD slot available, you could install a M.2 SATA SSD upto a size of 512GB in the slot, transfer the contents of HDD to it and use as a boot drive because M.2 SSDs are much faster than normal HDD, you can use the 1TB HDD for storage.

Hi,
The first one is a PCIe/NVMe SSD and the second one is M.2 SATA SSD, you need to get the M.2 SATA SSD, Crucial MX500.

Hi,
The first one is a NVMe SSD and the other is a M.2 SATA SSD, please read this thread for information relating to NVMe SSD compatibility with your model, you can remove the battery but if you leave it, make sure that you don't press the power button accidentally.
