    Hello,
    I have connected 2 monitors to the laptop - 1 via HDMI and one via Mini DP.
    There is also a type-c port which theoretically could support another screen to connect, but I do have the type-c to hdmi adapter and when I connect the monitor does not respond at all. I couldn't also find any proper/detailed manual so i am not sure if the port does not support third monitor via adapter or it's purerly USB type only.
    Any one have ideas?

    Not seen any MSI laptops to support video out via USB. Just video input.

    What about resizing the screen from HDMI/Mini DP?

    Some MSI laptops have DP alternative mode on the USB-C, but those are the ones that have Thunderbolt, yours doesn't, your USB-C is USB only, and no alternative modes at all.
    1x RJ45
    1x SD (XC/HC)
    1x (4K @ 60Hz) HDMI
    1x Mini-DisplayPort
    1x Type-C USB3.2 Gen2
    2x Type-A USB3.2 Gen1
    1x Type-A USB3.2 Gen2

    Since your laptop has Mini Display port AND HDMI just use the DP and the HDMI to connect your monitors, you can buy a mini-DP to HDMI cable if your monitors only have HDMI inputs.

    Maybe if you use a monitor with DisplayPort daisy chaining(DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport), and your laptop DP should support it as well, otherwise its not possible.
