Hi,

First of all, which model your MacBook Air is?(you can see Apple menu > About this Mac...).

You can't upgrade 2018 or later model since SSD is soldered on logic board.

secondly, you should take back up data before upgrade SSD.

If you are in Tokyo, upgrade SSD is available at Akiba-Kan in Akihabara.

You are charged extra, though they will replace SSD for you.

Hello Kaz-K!

Tnx for the Reply. I didn't put much details in my poest. I just need extra storage for my macbook air macOS sierra 10.13.6 coz i received notifs that my free storage is Full so i need to get a 200GB plan. I'm a foreigner working here and i dont have credit card. Aside from apple pay on phones/suica, what are other ways to pay it monthly? is it ok thru my personal bank account or anything? Thank You.
