Resolved Upgrade won't recognize installed SD card

Trying to update my old Lenovo Yoga Tablet from V1703 to V1809 (Win 10 Home). Upgrade Assistant wants me to free up 8GB on my 32GB SSD drive (5.8GB free). I have a 16GB SD card installed but Windows won't allow me to use it. I plugged in a 32GB flash drive with the same result. I could uninstall most, if not all, programs to make room on C: but I'd rather not. Is there a way to use my SD card for temporary storage? Is there another route I can go?

 

I think you need to read up on how to use the storage for updates.

I seem to recollect that Formatting is necessary.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. My brain must be on vacation. The SD card I was using wasn't formatted. Oops! A quick format to NTFS, and the update took off.

 

If it was me - I could claim a "senior moment"
But you aren't the first I've seen run into this problem.
