NO 1x M.2 SSD slot (NVMe PCIe Gen3) and that is used by your main Drive only the UE version has 2
 
What procedure do you suggest to replace with e new (bigger) SDD and restoring same data in a secure ad easy way?

Some MSI backup/restore image procedure or tool?

best way to do it if you got a new drive if you want to keep everything is if you have a friend with a PC with 2 NVME slots is get a new one take the old one out your machine boot it on there PC and Clone the DATA on the drive over to the Bigger Drive (the maker of the Drive usually have a clone Utility tool) and then extend the main Partition on your new drive in Disc Manager once its in your Laptop. (or could get a USB-C to M.2 Adapter and do it that way) if you did it the Adapter way you could then Wipe your old Drive and use it as external Storage

What do you think about MSI F3 Recovery way?

if you swap the Drive that will not work only a Clean Install as the new drive will not have the Recovery Partition on it to boot into the F3 Recovery but a Clone would Preserve that.
