Hi,

in the laptop of my 2nd system I want to have a permanent microSD as a parallel storage, 256GB. Since it's going to stay there forever and very rarely removed, I wonder if there's any way to hide it from this menu:

1738326777777.webp

Basically, that it is treated as an internal SSD.

OR ideally I just want to hide it from there, so the USB icon is not triggered, doesn't matter how it's treated as a storage, I just want that USB icon to only show the external USB drives I insert (if there are none plugged in, the icon disappears), and not this microSD.

Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by 'not ejectable' unless you mean to solder the card to your system board.

It's pretty self-explanatory...

Can you eject a microSD card from a laptop or PC with this icon?

1738330064001.webp

YES.

Can you eject your OS drive, or HDD drive, or SSD drives, connected to SATA or M.2?

NO. Because they are non-ejectable, they are internal. THIS is what I want to transform my microSD card to. The video is not doing what I want to achieve. Thanks.

Go to device manager, under disk drives right click the drive you want, click policies tab

I don't think it's possible without converting the card into a sata drive!

With the exception of Group Policy, perhaps...
