Is there an SD Card Slot available on the Microsoft Surface Go?
Yes, it does. The SD card slot on Surface Go is located on the right side of the device and underneath the kickstand. It’s a MicroSDXC card slot that supports all recent large MicroSD cards available on the market. Here is a summary of the MicroSD card slot and compatible SD cards:
| Model | SD Slot | Type | Speed class | Max speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Go (2018) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 2 (2020) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 3 (2021) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 4 (2023) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
One of my favorite features of the Surface Go is having a MicroSD card slot. The card is a cheap and removable storage that I can swap between smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, and laptops. Since the Surface Go has limited and non-removable storage that maxes out at 256GB, a 1TB microSD card is perfect for storing pictures, videos, and games.
Here is a summary of the storage chip technology used in all Surface Go generations:
| Storage Options | Min | Max | Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Go (2018) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 2 (2020) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 3 (2021) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 4 (2023) | 64 GB | 256GB | UFS |

MSI makes a 11.5 inch swapable memory tablet but it was a 2 in 1 but Microsoft continues to place soldered memory in the surface tablets.The surface suffers from lack of enough ram.8GB what the hell is that gonna do? If you had a tiny PE version of Windows 10 pro or Windows 11 pro and it could search your device for hardware and your needed drivers,and get rid of the massive amount of those you dont need the same for the bloated USB driver.Then you would not use so much memory.But 8GB a Ram some body at Microsoft needs there ass kicked a non upgradeable memory? Really,what stupid son if bitch did this.Barts PE sounds like the only option? To lessen the memory load. Any ass clown that puts no option to add more memory to any computer should have the shit kicked out of him.Microsoft does this to force you into buying the Qaulcom Snap dragon -x elite. At those prices very few people can afford one.Unless you can find a damaged one for parts only, but they list the SQ-1 and SQ-2 as a Snap dragon.It’s not the x-elite those are Microsoft cpu’s not Qaulcoms. Why even manufacture such a junk ass tablet? If your not gonna build something with enough memmory then get the hell out of the computer business.8GB get real.Whats next you gonna solder the fuses to the mothetbaord? Like this idiots who make power supplies do? When you have to desolder the fuse just to change it? “You buy them books,and they eat the pages”.Randy Fitzgerald.
