Surface Pro 7 Sd Slot

Posted on
I bought my first Surface a week ago, an i5 with 128 gig SSD, since the price for the one step larger is quite a bit higher. I figured it would finally be possible to use this as the single unit I wanted, with working (I work as a translator with video files as the source material), reading comicbooks (the 3:2 screen is perfect for that, it beats the cr@p out of the popular, but rather stupid 16:9 format) and general surfing and reading. Until now I've had a few units, amongst them som Android tablets and convertibles.
For storage I will be using the 2 TB drive from my previous working pc, a Dell Presicion M6500 17' monster, as a data disk connected by USB to the server in my house. In working hours the Surface will be hooked up to the new Surface docking, with two monitors, wired network and other niceties. I have also bought a 128 gig Micro SD card, and since I am a bit anal when it comes to backups I wanted to put that to double use. Because I do not take image backups from within Windows. Never. Don't trust them. So I took a 500 meg part of it for a Windows PE setup based on 8.1 ADK and used Acronis True Image to make the PE. No dice. No way to get the thing to boot from it. I have been using a smallish USB stick for this so far (I think it's 16 gig, or something like that), and I have been able to boot, but not without problems. It has to be plugged into the USB port on the side of the unit itself to boot. Not one of the ports in the Surface Docking, and not through an USB hub. That just doesn't work, the unit doesn't see it.
Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's simply impossible to boot from a card? I had the idea that the card reader probably was a part of the USB setup, but I may be wrong. It's so hard to see what's going on when I don't see any POST messages, as I'm used to (yeah, I'm old - been in computers since the Commodore 64, with almost all generations of Intel and AMD processors behind me in some computer or other).

If you own smartphones, laptops or PCs with a microSD or SD card slot like the Microsoft Surface Go, Surface Pro 6, or Samsung Galaxy S10, you can now add more capacity to store your photos. 7 Surface Pro 7 for consumers comes with Windows 10 Home to bring you the powerful Windows features you use most at an exceptional value. If you need additional enterprise management and security tools for the workplace, you can switch to Windows 10 Pro for just $99 or purchase Surface Pro 7 for Business.

As the seventh generation of Microsoft’s successful Surface Pro, the new Surface Pro 7 continues in the tradition of subtle refinements to the original 2-in-1 design that features a flexible, magnetically attached keyboard. The Pro 7 will look very familiar to current Surface Pro users, but there are some upgrades in connectivity and under the hood.

Specs for the Surface Pro 7

For starters, the Pro 7 replaces the Surface’s traditional mini-DisplayPort with a USB-C port that can provide video out. There is also a more traditional USB-A port. Unfortunately, the new USB-C port isn’t compatible with Thunderbolt 3, so there are still some compromises. Rounding out connectivity are a headphone jack, a Surface Connect port, a connector for the keyboard, and a microSD card slot.

The display continues as a 12.3-inch touchscreen with ambient light sensor and support for Microsoft’s Surface Pen. CPU options range from a 10th generation, dual-core Core i3 all the way to a quad-core Core i7. i3 versions feature Intel UHD graphics, while the i5 and i7 versions get Intel’s Iris Plus Graphics. The excellent kickstand design appears to be the same as previous versions of the unit. It is still one of the best kickstand options on the market.

The Surface Pro 7 weighs in at 1.7 pounds (plus optional cover), and Microsoft claims 10.5 hours of battery life for it. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed, which probably makes sense as the machine is a little on the lightweight side to take advantage of Windows 10 Pro’s additional features. The 5MP webcam supports Windows Hello, while the rear camera is 8MP. Both cameras support 1080p HD video. The device supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Sensors include an accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope.
