>>I have a Windows 8.1 Pro tablet - but it has a rather small SSD card built into it. Luckly I have a 128gig SD micro card for it. So now I want to install Visual Studio 2015 on it. Problem is when I try to select my SD Micro Card drive (d:\) - it tells me that I can not install VS 2015 to removable media. I haven't tried to install nay other versions of Visual Studio yet. So is there a work-around for this? Is there some kind of hack I can do to let the install go to my micro sd card???

What class of card did you use? SD card performance has improved a lot in recent years e.g. http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/press-room/press-releases/2014/sandisk-announces-world%E2%80%99s-fastest-sd-card/
