You can directly perform this task but clicking on the Add Media option under the Wp Dashboard > WP Admin > Add New Post (post-new.php)

Here in click on the Attach Media option and then browser the file from your computer and upload it. It will be uploaded in the Wp-content folder.

Create a new notepad and save it as Php.ini and paste the following code in it. Upload this in the root hosting folder ie Public_html folder.

upload_max_filesize = 16M
post_max_size = 16M

This would make sure its going to allow you to upload upto 16mb of files.
