How to add storage to your Surface Go on the cheap

Adding a microSD card to your Surface Go allows for immediate expansion of storage, as Windows 10 will recognize it as soon as you plug it in. While SD cards used to be treated strictly as external storage for photos or other media, Windows 10 gives you the option of doing pretty much anything you would with a microSD card as you would internal storage.

If you'd like to save apps, documents, movies, offline maps, and other media to the microSD card, head to Settings > System > Storage > Change where new content is saved and choose which data you'd like to put on the removable storage. We've even written a guide with a lot more information if you're having issues with the move.

You won't see the same read and write speeds with a microSD card as you will with the built-in eMMC or solid-state drive (SSD) storage, but for the price, the diminished performance is no doubt still worth it for a lot of people. We ran some speed tests to see how well the microSD card stacks up against the Go's internal storage.

Device	Size	Type	Read	Write
Surface Go	64GB	microSD	70 to 85 MB/s	44 to 55 MB/s
Surface Go	64GB	eMMC	260 MB/s	145 MB/s
Surface Go	128GB	SSD	1,185 MB/s	133 MB/s

You're clearly not going to get the same performance as with internal storage, but a microSD card is still ideal for apps and games you use less frequently, as well as music, movies, photos, and documents since read and write performance isn't as crucial.

If you're ready to add a microSD card to your Go, Microsoft has made the microSD card reader easily accessible, and adding a card will only take a few seconds.
