1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”.
4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage.
5. Reboot your tablet.

NOTE: If you don't reboot the tablet, many things may not work correctly, so make sure you do.

Now, if your phone can't either upgrade the OS or is restricted by the manufacturer, the other option you have is to move things like Photos, Videos, Music, etc., over to the SD card. They can be put there, and they also take up a lot of space.
