If you play Steam on your laptop, at some point, you might need more space to download more games, especially if you have a laptop with a small hard drive. My Acer Switch 10 only has 32GB of built-in memory which is really easy to fill up. But I can use a SD card to install and play my games on. And with any game installed, all in-app purchases or DLCs will also be saved to the SD card.
Once the game is downloaded, you can start playing your game knowing that you aren’t filling up your main hard drive anymore! One last thing, game performance may vary depending on the configuration of your computer but you can easily try it out if you have an extra SD card lying around.
I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did please give me a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel TheRenderQ for more how-to videos and product reviews.

Thanks, its surprisingly difficult to find straight forward videos on how to store programs on additional drives when additional storage has been a thing for many years.
Hey! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! When I make my vids I try to make them easy to follow since I may have to refer back to them myself in the future. But I also want my viewers to be able to follow along easily. There are too many bad videos/advice on the internet!
yeah, not much info but that's what i was looking for, just spent 30 minutes going through way more complex stuff that didn't help, this answered everything in 1 step
a quick and to the point video, thanks!
Excellent! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I usually make my video short and include only what's needed. Thanks for watching!

Bro thank you, i reinstalled tf2 on my old laptop that had an sd card and this helped very much!
Currently downloading TF2!!
I bought a Lexar Play micro sd intended for the nintendo switch and it allocates disk space forever. Do you have to format the card with a specific file system?
The only way I can play games off sd is to move games from my hdd to the sd card
oh my god you saved me so much time I cant thank you enough you deserve mores subs I subscribed and liked
Thanks for the video, what kind of SD card are you using because i tried the same thing on a Samsung EVO class10 128GB and the download of the game on that SD card was extremely slow!
Thank you!!! Using this for the Steam Deck and I was worried it wouldn’t work with Windows on Deck!!
How did you get it working in the steamdeck I have the valve drivers but it doesn't show up in steam to add as storage
You're absolutely amazing for this. Thank you SO SO much!
Hey! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tutorial video! Now you've got more storage for your Steam games!
Which sd card is good for gaming? Are there performance changes when playing on an sd card instead of an ssd?
Good video, just straight to the point

Thank you so much!!! This video was exactly what I needed!
You're welcome! I'm really glad my Steam tutorial was helpful!

Thank you so much, I’m new to PC and this helped so much
Still works in 2020! 10/10 tutorial!
Thanks! Saves some space for sure. Wonder if I can move the game between laptops using the same SD card...
Do you have a way that tbis works without having to backup any games, im not able to install any games in the first place due to all the games i want to play being around 20k mb while my computer only has around 7k storage due to the built in apps already taking up 21k
Will this slow down the game ? Or slag in graphics as its not faster way to access data as it is on hard disk or ssd
I am curious with the new steam game pad ui it shows a option to format sd card could that work for desktop pc gaming instead of steam deck ? Btw I do have steam deck
Thank you for being straight to the point

Do i need a SD adapter or can I use a micro sd
When I got a 128 gb with adapter it keeps saying my microsd is only reading. What do I do?
