Can I increase storage on stream 14 laptop with an SD card? If so, which ones are compatible?

[Lolly1001]

Hi
I have just bought the laptop for my daughter who wants to download SIMs 14. It requires 13GB and whilst I have uninstalled everything possible, I only have 11GB free.

Is there an SD card on the market I can use to expand the storage and save the game to? Maximum possible size?

To better assist you, we would need the exact model number or product number of your laptop/desktop???

You can use any SD card to add storage. You can download rhe SIMS installer to it. However, Windows 10 will not allow anything other than apps purchased from the "Store" to run from any kind of external storage so when you launch the installer the program itself will still try to install to the main hard drive. These Streams are called "Cloudbooks" as they really have no room for any apps to be permanently stored on the hard drive.

So does that mean that it wouldn’t actually work? I was hoping if I download the game with the location as the SD card, then it would be stored there and accessible to play?

Hi, it’s a HP Stream - 14- cb008na. Product number 3RN81EA

Yes you have a 32 gig eMMC for storage. Your laptop has an SD card slot. This will work in the slot and become a second hard drive.

The link above shows how to install apps on a second drive. They make it seem pretty easy and I am not sure it works as easily but worth a try. 

Post back with any more questions.

Thanks very much! Ordered and I’ll give it a go when it arrives 🙂

Let us know. A lot of people would like to figure an easy way to expand storage on these as you might imagine.
