I would like to use the Micro SD as additional RAM in Surface Pro 4.  Anyone know if this can be done and how to set up for this?

    In the Control Panel under "System" there used to be a virtual memory control for which you can explore to see if it is still there.  Personally, I am using the Insider's build and current build basically got rid the Control Panel to explore this feature but may still be in Windows since it was a feature since back in Windows 95 days (maybe, even Windows 3.1).

    I do not remember if you can re-designate the location of the virtual memory cache but you can explore that area to see if you can.

    A word of caution: if you change the virtual memory settings, you will notice a big drop in performance, so, be ready for that (usually a big difference).
