Setting up your storage card as internal storage
When you insert a storage card that has not been used on HTC 10 before, the card will
be mounted as removable storage by default.
If the storage card is new or doesn't have content you want to keep, you can format the
storage card to use it as internal storage for HTC 10.
See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page
147 to find out the differences between using the storage card as removable
storage or internal storage.
If there are still files on the storage card, back up the files first before you
format the card.
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Storage.
2. Under Removable storage, tap
next to the storage card name.
3. Tap Format as internal > Erase & format > Format.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to move your installed apps and their data
from the phone storage to the storage card.
If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, you can
reformat the card as removable storage. Before you do so, make sure to move
all the apps and data from the card back to the phone storage. See Moving
apps and data between the phone storage and storage card on page 149.
