  1. How to make SD card default storage for windows 10


    I have an Asus vivobook that has no ssd or hard drive, so it doesnt function besides the boot menu. I was wondering if it is possible to use a micro SD card as a means of storage to install windows on.


    I put the micro sd into the laptop and then the usb that i use to boot windows. While going through 'windows setup' a screen pops up saying "select the driver to install," but my sd card does not show up.


    Is there a way to set up the sd card as a "driver?" Is there ANY way to format the sd card to make it behave like an ssd or hard drive? Please help and forgive me but im not smart with computers.

    :)

    SD Card Storage not appearing windows

    I recently partitioned my sd card (100gb exfat and 20gb ext4) so I could install apps on the sd card using link2sd. Everything worked out except that the sd card storage (100gb) doesn't show up in windows any more (just phone storage). This means I have to take out my sd card and put it in the computer to put things on it. Obviously, I would rather be able to just plug the phone straight to the pc with usb. How do I get sd card storage again to appear in windows?

  3. Booting Windows 10 on MacBook Pro via SD Card

    I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro and I've always had this problem with storage. Sure, 128 GB is definitely enough, but having a Windows 10 partition at the same time completely reduces the amount of storage required for normal day to day usage for me. I found a solution where I would have an external MicroSD card with an adapter that fits in flush within the SD card slot so that it's portable as if it was never there. Although I'm aware that an SD card would slow things down, I still would like to boot Windows off of the 128 GB MicroSD card. After searching around the internet for a while, I still haven't found a way to do it. Here is what I have so far:

    • A Windows 10 ISO image
    • A working VM of Windows 10 (will be deleted later)
    • Using a program called WintoUSB, the entire VM to my SD card
    • A .dmg file of the SD card contents

    The SD card I have does contain the full suite of the required Windows drivers. I haven't tried because I haven't been able to yet, but from the given information, all I need to know at the moment is how to boot from the SD card. If it is required, I am OK with reinstalling any software or doing any steps over again.

    micro SD card corrupted?

    Does your SD card work if you connect it to your computer?

    If so, then what I would suggest is to backup it's content on your PC and format the SD card.

    Once it's backed up, format the SD card through the phone.

    Go to App List > Storage Sense > SD Card > Format SD Card to do that.

    Regards
