Can a computer have multiple ssd? Or do I need to change it from the previous one, like moving my windows into the new one?

Yours looks like there’s at least 2 slots, maybe 3. You also have enough sata slots for those ones as well

Looking at the manual, looks like one m.2 specifically for wifi cards, and and more than can connect to a variety including SSDs. It warns if you plug a device in SATA mode into one of them, it disables one of the regular SATA ports.

Next choice is price: There are trade offs for how much speed you want, and how much space you get. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891.html

Now if you need a ton of space for backups, and slower is fine still, HDDs are still available too. For these you can get one internal for your computer, or as a network attached storage (NAS) option. https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-hard-drives
