Hi:

 

You wouldn't be able to do that because I do not believe that the notebook will boot from a SD card, but if you want to open up the notebook, there is a M.2 slot that supports SATA M.2 SSD's.

 

NVMe SSD's are not supported in the models that come with the 64 GB eMMC drives.

 

You could install a 250 GB, 500 GB or 1 TB SATA M.2 SSD, use that as the boot drive, format the 64 GB eMMC drive and use it for extra storage.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the M.2 SSD installation procedure.

I recommend one of the Western Digital Blue SA510 model M.2 SATA SSD's which have decent read/write speeds:

 

This is the 1 TB model for example.
