Windows 10: Can I transfer space from my external hard drive to my microSD card?

Hi,

I have a lot of free space on my external hard drive and very little on my microSD card, is there a way to transfer space from my external hard drive to my microSD card? If so, do I have to use a 3rd party software?

Thank you

:)

 

Transferring Files from microSD card to hard drive

Hello,

I'm trying to transfer my photos and videos located on my microSD card to my computer's hard drive. When I upgraded to Windows 10, I didn't have a problem doing wholesale uploads of files by plugging my microSD card into my card reader and copying my files
over. Now, when I try to copy files from my microSD card to my hard drive, the transfer starts at around 80 MB/s, drops quickly to around 20 MB/s, and then zeros out to 0 KB/s. It stays at 0 KB/s and presumably stops transferring my files. I then have to
abort the transfer.

The files on the microSD card are fine. I can actually view the pictures and play the videos off the microSD card. I just can't copy those files onto my computer for back-up purposes.

I have searched for this issue, and I've tried many of the recommended fixes, such as running system maintenance and entering all the suggested command prompt commands. It hasn't helped, in fact, I think it may have made it worse. In particular, the transfer
starts at 80 MB/s and then quickly drops to 0 KB/s, without first throttling down to the lower speeds as before.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

 

Transferring Files from microSD card to hard drive

Just purchased a new computer with Windows 10. I'm still having the same file transfer issues. Again, I'm attempting to transfer hundreds of files from my microSD card to my new computer's hard drive in Windows 10. The file transfer starts off strong
(20 MB/s), then drops to about zero and tends to stay there.

Is this a known issue with Windows 10? If so, what is the fix? I would like to back-up the files on my microSD card to my external hard drives but I seemingly cannot effectively in Windows 10. Please provide guidance.
