May I know whether is there any way to enable us to install windows store apps into the micro SD card, since my 16GB Dell Tablet is running out of memory. I am using Windows 8.1 (Not RT) ?

Hi Yaman,

By default Windows Store apps will be saved in the following location.

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps


Hence, it is not possible to move Windows Store apps to SD card.

I would suggest you to delete the unnecessary files from the computer and check if it improves in memory.

You may also get in touch with the manufacturer to increase the memory.

Hope this information helps. If you have any concerns, please let us know.

    "And how is this a helpful answer? this answer was Stupid." @ErinFord, I second that! Stupid would be an understatement. *Shakes head* Makes you wonder sometimes...
