I'm upgrading wiring in an older home which originally had ungrounded

I'm wondering, is it required to change the outlet boxes to the bigger
14 cu in (or bigger) boxes when I upgrade the wiring? That would be
much more work than I had originally anticipated.


Thank you all for your suggestions.

The local inspector said that for the end-of-the-run, I could keep the
older box, but for middle-of-the-run, I would have to install a bigger
box during the upgrade.
