Well, the short version is:
That looks like an M.2 M-key slot on the motherboard, so you can only buy the first linked SSD to be able to install it.
Although I have to add that it looks incredibly unusual, especially since it only seems to support the 2280 form factor.

I can not see the story well.
[154904]? M.2 slot
Nothing is stabbed.
Perhaps you booted up the OS from HD and are using it normally.
I want to migrate OS from HD to SSD side and start it! Is that a story?

How to restore Windows 10 system on MSI Notebooks
At the very least, you should create a backup just in case.
The expansion to M.2 is after that.

As others have said, the first drive is the one you want - the motherboard will support either kind, but the second drive (in spite of being a higher price) is a SATA drive, and would not give you better performance than a conventional 2.5" SSD. Some motherboards will support only SATA drives, so those users would need to get the second drive, but since your motherboard supports both and there is a difference in performance, go with the first drive.
If the 90€ price is not too much, I would recommend going for the 512GB version of the drive. If you choose to install the OS on it, you'll want the extra space, and it will improve Windows performance in general (and boot time in particular). Even if you don't move the OS to it, given the size of Steam libraries (not to mention Uplay, Origin, Epic, GOG, etc.), I think you'll enjoy having the extra space. If you ever do stream/record your gaming sessions, it may also benefit from having a large, fast drive.
As Talgaby mentioned, your motherboard does not have a mounting post for shorter drives - you need to use the 2280 size (22mm wide and 80mm long - some drives are shorter, at 60mm or 42mm). That shouldn't be a problem, as it's the most common size, and both drives you linked to fit the 2280 format.

the first one only can work , it has like 1 notch or something so it fits in your pc but the second has 2 and it wont fit , its like the ram sticks with the little space in between and 256gb its good for the system ;) should help speed things up
