I still run Windows 7 on an Asus A54C with a 320GB HDD. I currently have about 15 GB free space on my D drive, and on C it varies recently from a maximum of about 10, down to a couple. I have backups and lots of other files, including pictures, on external drives that aren't normally connected. At some point I would like help finding/deciding what files and data should be removed entirely from my C-drive, but for now have questions about a possible stopgap method of expanding my working memory.
I have found a few articles such as this one [ How to use SD card for internal storage on Windows? ] about mounting an SD card in a folder within my C drive. My questions are:
Items on my Desktop (among much more) are in C; Would the system then treat this SD memory as part of C? Or could I reassign ["Send"] the Desktop and/or its items to that SD folder, so everything would still behave the same?
If this Mounting works, would there be a limit on the size of the SD card that could be used? The computer has a card slot I, in the past, rarely used, but which currently has a 32GB card dedicated for ReadyBoost. Could some of a mounted card (with NTFS) still be used for ReadyBoost?
Lastly, If mounting the card doesn't/can't essentially make it part of C, what is the benefit of "mounting" it rather than just having it remain and be treated as a removable drive?
Thanks
