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.

While this is true, it was possible to move Windows Store apps to a different directory before 8.1.

For those of us who do have devices with low amounts of internal drive space, it was great to have that ability.

Is there a uservoice or anything similar for Windows 8 where we can submit feature requests like we can for Windows Phone?
