Probably not, but we'd need a link to the exact specs to verify.

As stated, more information is required to be absolutely certain, however, are you sure that the SSD drive within the laptop itself is only 16 GB? Maybe that is the amount of RAM, not the SSD? I ask because 16 GB SSD drives were introduced over 10 years ago

If I had to guess, however, this laptop most likely only has drive using the typical SATA III 6GB/s interface and would not have the ability to support the totally different NVMe drive type.

You would want to look at the Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB (Link: http://a.co/3muzbM1)

Please post the more exact specifications for a definite answer.

In addition, several laptops were brought out with a 16 or 32GB "SSD" to be used as a cache for the large HDD. Often soldered directly to the motherboard.

Over time and several OS installs later, somehow this get disconnected from the HDD, and the 16GB thing is seen as its own drive space.
