Hi,
Was wondering how can you set your default storage app of programs to SD Card. Can't install my microsoft office because I cannot set it to install in my SD Card.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please try
(a) Hold down Win key and hit I (Win+I),
(b) Click System,
(c) Click Storage.
Now you can see a list of things and you can assign to where (drive) new apps/files to go to.
Note: Not all apps support this.
Regards,

It won't let me change the default for the apps, it always stays as Drive C (which is the SSD). Is there anything I can do, I don't mind if my Windows is not updated but I need my Windows Office updated though.

Hi,
As mentioned above: Not all apps allow you to do that BUT can you see similar to the following image ?

Hi,
Do you know what is 😧 ? Is it a SD card you put in OR it is there already ?
In my case, I can ONLY use F: (as shown on my previous reply). 😧 is the Recovery partition and please don't touch to it.
If 😧 is your SD card, please change it to anything from F: to Y: (do not use A: to E: and Z:). The following article shows you how to change
