I have a Clara HD and recently upgraded the storage. Internally it uses a microSD card and it's on this that the Kobo's operating system lives, as well as this being where your books and documents are stored. The case is very easy to open, then you simply remove the card, clone it to your new card (and maybe expand the filesystem if the new card is bigger), and put that new card in, close the case and boot it. My new card is a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro. The Clara is distinctly snappier now. No more lagging on page turns.

p.s. it is running the latest firmware. I have kept it up to date and not needed to factory reset it since I bought it a little over 4 years ago. It's fine.
