I think iam going to use software first. Then i dont have to spend so much of money for nothing.
But maybe it is a last resort, if iam out of other options.

Sure, software may be the easiest. There is no need to spend a lot of money. Greaseweazle is cheap and you can even build it yourself with $10 BluePill STM32 board https://github.com/keirf/Greaseweazle/wiki/Blue-Pill-Direct.

Is that board for doing low-level on the floppy drive?

It does all read/write on low-level, mostly it supports SPC flux level file format and conversions have to be done by other utilities.

I personally usually use a DOS tool called DskImage by MBrutman.

Found this in 2026 because I needed to pack free files into a floppy image, and in the end I found this tool which works really well, and also, pertinent to this thread, supports 720K floppies:
