When the USB card is installed, does the File Explorer see it as a USB flash drive (removable drive)?

You can also try it with a USB external card reader. YOu might have more success that way.

 

If it does, and the card has been set up with a UEFI slice or MBR boot sector, depending on how it was set up, then it should boot.

 

If not, then the sd card won't boot.

 

One of the problems with micro sd cards is that they are usually so incredibly slow.

 

I have done this with an android tablet before, but not on a notebook with an SD card simply because of the low bandwidth of the sd card.

 

 

What are the specifics of the card you are using?

 

The following article has details on the UEFI setup.

I highly recommend that you do the install of Windows 10 from a USB flash drive instead of a micro SD media card.

 

Do you have a USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drive that you can use?

It probably appears because the bandwidth (speeed) of the transfer of the files on the OS image with an SD media card is so incredibly slow that it creates a bottleneck which results in the files becoming corrupt during the file transfer.

 

It is worthwhile to have an 8 or 16GB USB flash drive with the Windows 8.1 installer to use not only as an installer but afterwards as recovery media.  

 

It would be your "plan B" should problems with the OS arise and you need to access system recovery after an update  has caused an issue.

 

 

If acquiring a spare USB flashdrive is an issue, then an alternative would be to create a DVD rewriteable Windows installation disk. Booting from a DVD media Windows installer is simple.

Interesting. Thanks for all of the screenshots.

 

The BIOS in your notebook has more options than most.

 

Try a different brand SD card if you just don't want to go the route that most of us do. There is still no guarantee that the result would be any different.

 

There is a reason that virtually everyone else uses USB flashdrives for this purpose. They work!

 

I am trying to help you get the install done as efficiently as possible. I am familiar with the limitations of SD cards.

 

That is why I highly recommend that to avoid the negative result that you continue to have, you should swtch to either  USB flash media or (DVD) Rewritable media. Both types are tried and trusted  installer media.

 

You have found through personal experience and research that SD media cards are not a good choice for bootable media no matter what the BIOS states. I suggest that you consider it a learning experience.
