I want to buy a budget laptop, I found one, but it only has 32 GB of space. It has a MICRO SD port and a SD port. Could I know if I could make a MICRO SD CARD or SD CARD be the main/default storage for the laptop. (Including games, photos, videos, music, documents and exetra?
Thanks

yes you certainly could install windows on an SD card if it's large enough. two things to worry about though would be the relatively slow read/write transfer speeds and the fact that nand flash memory will "burn out" over time with enough read/write cycles.

Probably something like an HP Stream 13 or one of those Acer or Asus mini laptops
