Windows 10: sd drive does not show space available

Surface 3 4GB Ram, 128 GB internal storage.
Win 10 Home ver 1709 build 16299.125

A 64 GB sd card inserted but it does not show amount of space free etc.
Not a big deal. I can find that info from Properties option.
Just wonder if this is normal or I can do something about it.

1709 upgrade

I have cleaned the C drive and the 1709 upgrade still requires more space, but does not recognize (show up in the slot provided) my D drive SD card (which has lots of space) to continue the download.

 

windows 10 update on tablets

I am have a storage problem on a tablet that was recommended by Microsoft themselves and purchased through Microsoft. it currently has 1706 version of software and is trying to upgrade to 1709 version. i have only 4 apps on the device and they reside on
the sd card. Microsoft os currently 23.4 gig of 30 gig c: drive. and i have 14.7 gig available on my sd card. the upgrade says that there is not enough space available on my system. c: drive has a green check mark saying that space is ok. but it is looking
for an external space of 10 gig. when i click the drop down for external drive all it says is "none" and does not show my sd drive. every place else i see the sd card as drive d: but not in the update. This tablet only has a usb charging port and a micro
hdmi port so i can not connect an external device. is there something i can do to fix this? I hate to have to junk this machine out. Tried to talk to Microsoft support and after 45 minutes of holding and talking to someone with a strong accent and a noisy
back ground she told me Microsoft does not support tablets. only pcs and notebooks.

Try 'Content' view:

 

Yes, Content View will work. Thank you.
BUT, in my old Surface Pro1, my sc drive shows as expected without resorting to Content view.
Why my Surface 3 will not do the same ? Different sd card make ?

Hey davidhk,
It's the long name (Secure Digital Storage Device) of the SD card, that pushes the (xxGB free of xxGB) of out view. If you rename it and it will show.

 

Brilliant !
Thank you. Never would have thought of "long name" issue.
