If you can boot from it(change bios), you can install.

Hit Ctrl, Alt, delete after boot beep. got to bios.......select card to boot from.

If you have another OS on your system......ALWAYS disconnect those drives and install in isolation. Never put more than one OS on one disk.

Never use a boot menu. If the primary OS BOOT gets corrupted......you will lose the other OS.

Select the different OS.......thru bios.

This will save you hours of frustration and re-installs.

The title says it all! You can, infact, install windows 10 with a microSD card if you dont have a USB flash drive on hand!

I thought this was common knowledge?

You can also install unbuntu and pretty much every newer OS that way assuming your PC can boot from a flash drive.

I haven't done anything on a new laptop. But there has been more than once that I had to go into BIOS to boot with a thumb drive....let alone a flash card. I always get the old dogs.

These annoyances have probably been resolved on the new stuff.

I have no need of such but when I see joey's rig.....I think that would fit my lap just fine. Glad he doesn't show it off that much. She's a beauty.

Hello,

I think it would only work if the cardreader is seen as an usb drive and the SD card is made bootable.
