I would like to buy the msi gf63, but unfortunately has only one hdd and I would like to know if I can install in a SSD, thank you
A SATA SSD should always work fine, having the same form factor as HDDs, and also how HDDs are connected via SATA.
For a M.2 SSD (especially the NVMe SSDs) you need a separate port in the notebook, which is also connected accordingly (PCIe or SATA).
In both cases, you need access but to install it in the notebook. For the HDD, there are often (not always) a maintenance flap, in M.2 slots, this probably looks a bit more difficult.
I would not limit myself to NVMe SSDs in M.2 form factor. The clearest advantage you notice from the HDD to SATA SSD, the jump from the SATA SSD to the NVMe SSD, however, turns out to be less clear, especially if you keep the price in mind.
===============================
If you do not know or understand concepts, do not hesitate to ask.
You can do that safely, expand HDD and replace it with an SSD SATA.
You have to reinstall the operating system. If the laptop has a pre-installed Windows 10, then this is easily possible, Windows 10 is then automatically re-enabled.
Alternatively, you clone the HDD to the SSD, then you also keep a likely existing recovery partition. A good variant of cloning is described here:

Note, however, that this may invalidate or limit the warranty.
If no warranty seal is available, then you could but for a possible warranty or warranty case, the original HDD temporarily reinstall in the original state - if you do that cleanly without damage, this should work and would not be a scam.
YES.
just in case the notebook does not have any maintenance flaps (rating cover), then you have to put a little more hand on, but it always works, because the HDDs in the notebook are as good as always 2.5 "SSDs.
But take a look at this review on Notebookcheck:

if I see the photo under maintenance, then seems to be on the motherboard also an M2 slot and you may possibly even an M2 SSD parallel to the HDD install.
I would look for the purchase but first if this is really the case and only then buy a M2 SSD.
