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.

    It seems very counter productive to not have this option available. Specially that most tablets with windows have very little storage space left out of the box. Microsoft has to make it easier for windows tablet owners to change default storage locations for pictures videos music and apps the same way it is available on windows phone 8.1 you shouldn't have to go through 5 steps to move picture library from device to SD card the process has to be more streamlined for the regular folks too.

    hi,

    not acceptable.

    windows tablets will quickly run out of space, and as true PCs, should allow installation of apps onto additional storage.

    figure it out.
