    need to move and use an micro sd on my tablet ,i have no free space


    hi
    i got a WinPad tablet with windows 10 ,i have no more free space ,it has only 32GB
    there is only windows 10 installation , no photos ,no music , in short it's full only with windows
    i tried to windows disk cleaner but there is really few Gb free
    so I bought a 64Gb mico sd to increase the device memory
    can you give me some good adivses to increase the main memory using this sd ?
    i don't know if i should go with set 1 or 2
    1) create a folder on the main tablet called sd memory , and assign the sd to this folder ,so will be in the internal memory
    2) or keep as sd internal without assign a folder like sd memory and assign a letter like D:
    can i move the entire users folders (with all the child sub folders ) to the sd?
    can you give me some good advises?
    thanks mates

    :)

    What is stored on my machine when using Storage Spaces?

    Hi Nathan,

    I recently received my new Micro SDXC card, and am trying to set up Storage Spaces. When I initially tried, I received the following message:

    You will not be able to use storage space because it's a function to provide drive resiliency. It basically protects your data from drive failure, however to use the feature you need 2 new drives. Attaching those drives would mean that you cannot take the
    tablet without the drives. Use the SD card to move some data from your C:\ drive, such as your personal libraries to this new SD card. This will free up space on your C:\ and will allow you to continue saving more data to the tablet.

    -Sam

    Suggest - don't put anything on the MicroSD card that you cannot afford to lose. Unless it's a quality MicroSD card it's likely to suffer data corruption at some point.

    RE: Space. There's no way that windows should use all space. Have a look at these:

    Delete System Restore Points in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

    Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

    What's using space:

    WinDirStat Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives

    Antibody Software - WizTree finds the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive (Get Portable)

    hi
    restore points are disabled and deleted ,i clean all with Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

    i can disable hibernate in the tablet ,but 32gb are not enough
    i had to use a micro sd ,honestly a tablet with only 32gb and windows 10 are really few space
    i appreciate your advise about microsd quality but i had to move to sd there is really no free space
    i have used program to know what eats space C:\windows and C:\users

    need to move and use an micro sd on my tablet ,i have no free space

    Anyway I speak from personal experience. I tried moving libraries to NFTS formatted MicroSD and it was not reliable at all. I ended up reformatting and only using it for non essential stuff that I did not need to backup.

    RE: NTFS formatted MicroSD. You'd need to format it as primary partition and optimize for quick removal (even if you never remove it)




    Have a read of this:

    Yes I have a tablet.

    The MicroSD card shows up as a separate drive so as far as I know you cannot combine it with Windows partition.

    You can use your tablet if you install free MiniTool Partition Wizard. Be warned that I had nothing but problems. Incorrect file sizes reported and disappearing files. That's why i reverted changes. Perhaps you'll have better luck. Don't mess about without a backup.

    Don't know anything much about compressing files on MicroSD.

    need to move and use an micro sd on my tablet ,i have no free space

    Yes I do. Some files stick and some vanish. I'd stick to testing for now.

    Copy a few folders of .mp3 & .jpg files to SD and leave the copies on it for a few days to see if the files (and folders) stick. Also try placing a few portable apps on the SD and run them from there. Test to see if the files remain after a few reboots.

    As far as I know NTFS format is best because of file permissioning issues with other formats.
