Can I Upgrading SSD on Macbook Air 2013

[harryjosh]

I've been using Macbook 2013 mid model I know it's too old should have upgraded this.

Can I use SSD 512gb in this model because there was no SSD installed? As I live in Pakistan, Apple stores don’t exist here.

If it’s possible. Please help me through.

Hi,

you will need to buy an adapter or a SSD which is already prepared to be installed into the proprietary M.2 variant used by Apple, e.g. https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/OWC-Aura-Pro-X2-SSD/IF123-133?o=2
iFixit has a step by step instruction on how to upgrade/replace the SSD of a MBA 13" 2013:

Hi sweepi,

Thanks for the source, While changing the SSD do I have to save my data to another drive? or this will be saved in my current hard? if I do not do a time machine backup.

Thanks
