It is possible to upgrade the 128GB ssd to a larger one for this Macbook Air model?
Absolutely. Just click the parts link at the top of the page, and choose your size.
I bought the below model SSD by mistake for my Apple 11" Early 2015 model. Could you please suggest whether it will be compatible.
"Samsung 256GB Flash SSD SSUBX/655-1858K w/ Heatsink for Mac Pro 6,1 JPV256R/0A1"
Hi, I am desperately trying to understand how to repair my macbook air 11 inch early 2015. The internal Hd broke. I would like to repair my macbook mounting the SSD suggested by Ifixit but unfortunately the last upgrade of the system was El capitan so, if I understood correctly, I don’t have the right EFI. What can I do? Is there a procedure to install the EFI the SSD owc aura needs? Or should I buy another SSD? Could you suggest me a solution? Thank you in advance for your time
You should be able to reinstall or restore everything via macOS recovery. Your Mac should support that:

Just boot up and either reinstall from scratch or follow the instructions to restore from a backup (or the old HD if it still turns on)
