The first thing I did was to boot from USB 3.0 64 gb flash drive with a full install of linux mint. Had to mess with the bios legacy mode. Ran fine test over! Played with Windows for a short time and it was pain full. There was so much to fix, reinstall windows (removes all bloatware), remove windows useless stuff xbox, people, 3d something and ect (shell script time). Updates to a separate hard drive. This would have taking a day and updates are so slow in Windows. I have done this before and it's a pain. Then I installed a number of Linux distros to the internal 32 gb drive. I stuck with MX Linux everything ran out of the box. With lots of stuff installed Chrome, firefox, some games, Vlc, Office. thunderbird, KDE connect and more. Then ran bleachbit there is 18gb free. Fast OS runs XCFE easy to update. I wouldn't waste my time with Windows big and slow. I don't see why you can't install to a micro sd card. I don't think there is a size limit. I would do the install on my desktop (virtualbox) then to the usb/sd. Then run it on the laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
