Upgrading option for Dell Inspiron 15 3000

Question

I'm fairly new to computer hardware, so I want to get an idea of what I'm getting myself into. I want to upgrade my laptop to have an SSD to increase performance. However, my computer appears to have Intel core I5 8th gen, and I'm unsure if it has its own SSD slot, or if I will have to remove the HDD or CD Driver to install an SSD. Is my laptop configuration enough for 1TB SSD?

Also if you do not mind can you suggest SSD to BUY!!

Thank you in advance.
