Hi elisabet61,


Unfortunately if your MacBook Pro was made in 2016 or later, the internal storage cannot be upgraded. The internal SSD is soldered directly to the main logic board inside.


However, you might want to consider purchasing an external drive - either a rotational hard drive (decent speed and cheaper) or a solid state drive (SSD, very fast but expensive).
