Are you sure you can? Did you look up the model number and check for manuals or docs?
It looks like it might be under the black plastic cover to the left of the RAM, or under where you have it placed in your picture. Then again, it could not be accessible from this side of the main board, and you might have to look under the keyboard.
Manual would be better than guessing though.

It’s an Intel whitebook, can’t find much in the way of disassembly videos or docs. You definitely can though

What makes you so confident?

According to the manual I pulled up on Google the slots are right below where he’s holding the drive in the picture, but they support 80mm drives. 🤭

Googled “intel whitebook” and this is the first link https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/laptops/whitebook/Intel-Whitebook-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf
It suggests there are two M.2 slots under where you are holding your drive.

Yeah that looks right assuming its the right model; compared to the diagram in the quick start guide, in the picture he’s covering the area where the slots are with his hand and the drive hes holding. This quide for the same model numbers is the same: manualmachine.com/intel/…/8104213-user-manual/
OP needs to check his model number.
Unfortunately the guide suggests it only supports 80mm length (2260) NVME drives. There could be a screw hole for the 42mm or 60mm sizes but they’re not mentioned. It may be too small for the design of the laptop. OP is holding what looks like a 2242?
There are adaptors (e.g. on ebay) to add length to a shorter drive to fit into the slot, but the ideal is to buy the right size of the slot.
