It's always appreciated that you share your knowledge, especially when we have computers with little storage capacity, it's a good contribution, regards!
Wow I did not know this, thank you so much. I do computer repair and this will definitely help my clients who simply can’t afford a new or better laptop right now!
Thanks a lot, my friend, I have had this problem for a long time. But now I found your video. I appreciate that. This have been of great help. Have a good one.
wow i am going to try this tomorrow, I saw a written version of this and there was not even screenshots and i was was lost. This is what I needed to finish this format.
I want to first of all thank you so very much! Your video was so easy to understand even for a tech idiot like me! I have been getting messages that my C drive is full and they can no longer able to download any updates to my computer so I want to be absolutely certain that I can put everything on my C drive on an SD card. Thank you in advance for the answer :) oh and I have subscribed to your channel as I need all the help I can get.
I was setting up a path and creating an index so when I needed to save a file in system storage (in my case at the time cloud storgae programs wouldn’t let me save on a external source) this was a work around. I think now cloud storage systems don’t give you that problem. One thing to mention is this doesn’t work for every type of file it just expands the option on saving for more programs.
I need more storage on my C drive to update windows 10 on my laptop, since external drive storage can’t do everything. Will doing this allow me to be able to use only the USB drive storage and not need to free up space on my C drive?
This method will not let you do that. Windows does have a prompt to let you use a USB drive to finish getting the reminder of the update downloaded but it has to give you the option. It usually does it once it attempts to update a few times and it can’t due to not enough storage.
Thanks for the concise explanation!! If I do this to set my sd card as internal storage though, would I not be able to remove it after? Could I possibly lose files that way? I got an sd card for my laptop but it sticks out of the side of it and I'd like to be able to remove it to prevent any accidents
This method is meant to be permanently on board the computer at all times. If you remove it, it will most likely detele the files and it could corrupt your sd card if removed multiple times.
Im trying to install a game from the Microsoft store, i bought an sd card with enough storage. But whenever I try to install the game it doesn't show the option to use the sd card.
im trying to rest a iphone using itunes.....but dont have enoughtstotage i have a 32bg ssd.....will this includethe %appdata% folder whereitunes downloadsthe sofware..imma try
Instead of getting the SD card icon, I got another folder icon with a little blue arrow. I’ve done all the steps that were instructed but I don’t know how it didn’t turn out correctly. If you know how I can fix this, it’ll be a big help.
Hey I have a 128 gb SD card so I can download the updates but it still didn’t set as my default storage options and i tried your option too. If u can reply or make a video that would be great 👍
Thanks for the video. Once you insert an SD Card to my laptop as a permnany storage, I cannot remove it anymore? Say I want to insert another SD Card to import some photos from my camera.
This method requires that you do not remove the sd card. If you do you would have to do this all over again and it could mess up your files currently on the card.
I just got a surface go 2. I have a few things on it but it's not completely set up yet, transitioning from a surface pro 4. Am I better to start with a complete fresh reset, do this process, and then start over so as much as possible will save to the SD card?
Thank you so much!!. I just did everything you said on this awesome video, but When I go to setup storagement. The firs option "new apps will save to:" It is blocked in grey and I can´t select the SD partition. Rest of options I can, Why could this happen?? Again Thank you!!
I would say it is probably the way it is formatted, or it could be that it is corrupted and a reformat could get it in order. One last thing is that sometimes micro sd cards don't play nice with certain systems in my experience I've had issues sometimes with PNY. I hope that helps.
I’d say no for most computers but the only time it worked for me was not through this method. I downloaded on an micro sd card and I placed it in the machine. Once I was done I had to remove it.
AHHH! ive been literally trying to get more storage for a week and for some reason the *More Storage Settings* thing isnt even showing for me, and i dont know why.
Yes, but certain apps still don’t read it as permanent storage. In my case I did this for google drive because it only wants to use on board storage of the device but I want to use the micro sd card.
@@techknight8897 that's odd. I didn't do the mount point thing you did, but I can set Google drive to my micro SD card on my surface pro 6. Maybe it's limited depending on the device?
Maybe it is. I have tried recently to do it without this work around. Could be there was an update that allows it now. I’ll give it a shot when I get the chance. Thanks for the info.
Can I turn a micro sd card as my main hard drive that will house operating system (windows 10) permanently and make orig. hard drive just storage? Hard drive is too small for win10 that I cannot load updates. If so can you make a video? Thanks
Hey. Ik I’m so late for this I been trying all day didn’t work how can I change offlines map for my new micro sd card Please help if u got discord I add u
hello, great video. i already set the "where it goes from now on". but the drive on my notebook is still packed and my 65g sd is basically empty. how do i transfer all of it over to the sd? will that happen if i do what you did here?
Thank you very much for this video , my question is , what about windows updates ? is the simple method also include windows update to be saved on the card ?
it just give a short-cut to SD card. Can not use SDcard as internal storage! Some software auto install on C: and you can not force them install to SD card!
My bad on the late reply. So the shorcut is used to create a way for the the OS to install some thing like a cloud service on the sd card. At least that’s why I originally did it. Other programs worked as well but I didn’t try many. In the end some programs will just not allow it in any form.
cant believe how much this helped even though I'm five years in the future
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to do this on my surface pro for the longest time and haven’t been successful until today.

@kirsheldavis6034 no it always read as not enough space, couldn't get any further
Nice little shot of Kronos you got there. If people only knew..
Thanks! This really helped! Love this video as well, you got right to the point, and you keep it simple.

This was sooooooooo helpful
can you made this 'permanent sdcard' as paging file system?..just curious..thanks _/\_
a question friend once I do this I can turn off the PC with the SD Card inside. and I don't have to eject the SD Card when I turn off the PC?
thanks a lot bro it helped me a lot. I wanted to ask a question. when i download something will it save on c downloads or on the new sd card
Depends on how you set up your automatic path.
Thanks for Sharing this video.
Is there a way to do this under Win11???
So this means my c drive will have more space I need that bc my computer only holds 118gb
Can you, or anyone, explain the pros and cons of doing this for me?
I cannot find the SD card in the browse for drive path
im trying to rest a iphone using itunes.....but dont have enoughtstotage i have a 32bg ssd.....will this includethe %appdata% folder whereitunes downloadsthe sofware..imma try
Can I install programs into it? How do I set it as a storage to install programs?
You must insert the micro SD stick on your laptops permanently not an SD card on card reader ( flashdisk )?
I have a question, when i search disk on my windows ten hp stream there is no create and format hard disk partitions option.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t show up. Maybe search from computer management > storage > disk management. That’s the only thing I could think of.

Thx that helps a lot
Why NTFS? ExFAT should be faster for flash drives, memory card etc.
