can you add a SSD drive to an Inspiron with a hybrid drive?

Looking into buying this Dell Inspiron:

I think I would want to add a larger SSD (m2 one), maybe a 256GB, to move the operating system to. With this having a hybrid drive, will that be an issue? I'm pretty sure from looking around online that one can be added when there's just a regular HD, but I don't know if the hybrid style would mess this up.

Shouldn't. An hybrid drive should be transparent to the OS.

Does this laptop have a slot for the SSD or are you replacing the HD?

From what I've researched, there should be an empty spot for an added SSD. Just want to make sure that the hybrid isn't setup differently from one that comes with just a standard HD.

Should be fine, assuming the system can use the m.2 drive.
The hybrid is 'just another drive'. Disregard the word 'hybrid'.
