SSD replacement

My MacBook Pro uses a SSD128Gb. It is almost full, I can't install the last update from Apple because it need more space (gb), I would like to know if its possible to change this SSD for other with more capacity.

I'm thinking of one SSD 512gb. Anyway, I just to know Apple doesn't do this job so I'm open to any recommendations.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

No. This is not an option, because all items are soldered on to the LogicBoard to make the Mac operate as one full device.


So, what to do: Rid of items that you do not need, including Movies & TV Shows, and many other things that take up GBs and GBs of data.

You are welcome. Note that I have the same Mac version, and use it for backup, when my main Mac is being serviced. So, consider using the Mac that you have as a backup device, and to get one you should rely on. So, I'd go with an upgrade.
