Upgrade the SSD in an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 from 250MB to a 2TB SSD

Is this possible? If so, can this be done at home?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Yes, but specialized tools and parts are required. It is also moderately difficult and considered more of a technician-serviceable upgrade. See iFixit or OWC DIY install videos for more details.

A slower but much simpler alternative would be to use an external USB 3 SSD.
