    Windows 10 recognizes my SD Card as a local drive

    Jon,

    You posted that you would try the suggested steps by Tryx3. May we have an update if the suggested steps have resolved the issue about your SD card being recognized as a fixed drive in Windows 10?

    WIndows 10 1803 upgrade does not recognize my sd card reader as a storage device for the upgrade.

    Windows 10 1803 update is being forced onto my tablet. My tablet only has 32Gb memory but also has a built in sd card reader. I have a 32gb memory card in there that works fine and I can read and store files on there but for the windows 10 upgrade it does
    not recognize it as an external storage device.

    I have tried multiple cards and formatted them with either exfat, fat or ntfs and in none of the cases the windows 10 1803 update recognize it as additional storage space so I can perform the update.

    I have cleaned off as much data as possible off the main drive but it is not enough to complete the update by about 8Gb short.

    There is only 1 micro usb port for power and no other options for connecting drives.

    What needs to happen in order for windows 10 update to recognize the sd card as external storage for the update to complete?

    Windows 10 does not recognize 128gb micro sd card

    Hi Steve,

    To better assist you, provide us with the following information:

    • Do any other SD cards work on your Windows 10 laptop?
    • Have you tried checking if your Kingston SD10VG2 works on other computers? If not, we suggest you to do so.
    • Were there any changes made on your laptop prior to this concern?

    For possible resolution, check if the SD card is listed in Disk Management by following the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + X.

    2. Click on Disk Management.

    3. Check if Kingston SD10VG2
    is listed.

    If the SD card is not listed in Disk Management, we recommend you to check
    for an updated driver from the manufacturer and have the latest version installed. After ensuring that the correct driver is installed, check if the device is recognized in the Device Manager.

    Let us know how it goes.
