Hello

Yes you can able to do this very easy just follow the steps.

  1. Go to the directory where XAMPP is installed.
  2. Search for the file php.ini in the directory
  3. Open the php.ini and search for max upload filesize (the name is similar so check for max keyword to get easily)
  4. change the value of max upload filesize accordingly.
  5. Save the php.ini close the file and restart the XAMPP server and now you can upload bigger files.
