How to upgrade internal hard drive

I am trying to export very large files (about 35GB each) from a video editing program called CapCut. When I try exporting to an external SSD drive, it usually crashes for some reason after hours of waiting, sometimes after reaching 75%. The program recommends that I export to the computer itself and not an external drive.

It won't export to the computer unless I have 2x the available disk space than the file has, so I need about 70GB. There is no way for me to clear up this much space.

How do I look up the exact model of my computer and upgrade the hard drive to a larger size? Or is there a type of external SSD drive that the program might be more likely to successfully export to?
 
Seems you have a hardware issue somewhere. It's either existing drive or the drive you are copying to. What are the 2 drives you have and how old are they?
 
Go into device manager and expand disk drive section and tell me what is listed there. 128gb is pretty damn small in today's world. 500 gb should be minimum. And you only have 4 gb of ram unless you added more. Would recommend getting a bigger drive and more ram.
 
What data rate do you get when dragging the files themselves over? ~30 MB/sec would indicate it's negotiating at USB2.0 rates

When copying a large file from the portable SSD to the laptop, I get just under 130 MB/s.

When copying from the laptop to the portable SSD, I get about 250 MB/s.

The file was about 21GB.
