PC users can run into low storage or low disk space issues. Even though you can rule out low disk space problems by installing an internal or external SSD/HDD, what if you don’t have a budget to purchase it?

In that case, you can use your Phone’s SD card to store Windows 10 apps. On Windows 10, you can install and move apps to an SD card, but you need to manually set up the operating system to install apps to your SD card instead of an HDD/SSD.
