Win 10 doesn't account for extra drive space using the SD card trick
I have a Samsung 700T tablet (think Surface Pro). It only as a 128GB SSD, but I read about a trick Surface Pro owners use to add extra storage. You format an SD card as NTFS, don't give it a drive letter, then map it to a folder on your C: drive.
It works great - I've added a 128 gig SD card & essentially doubled my storage, but I'm running into one problem. Windows 10 does't count the SD card when it calculates free space. I have all my libraries mapped to the SD card, including my downloads folder. When I try to download something large, Windows reports there isn't enough space & Chrome refuses to download the file.
Is there any way to get the system to recognize the extra space?
Thanks,
Paul
