[Putra23]

B550 is the chipset, which board are you looking at as an upgrade over your msi B450-A PRO MAX? One other thing is that you should be able to hit DDR4-3600MHz(if your current ram kit is DDR4-3600MHz and can't do that with your B450 chipset board).

You can install M.2 PCIE adapter in x4 slot.
That would give you one additional M.2 slot.

M.2 PCIE adapter is easier and less expensive option.
But it's your choice.
