UEFI/BIOS in general probably doesn't include drivers for an SD card slot. SD USB card reader on the other hand ought to work since that is just a USB drive. Windows on the other hand by design doesn't support booting from such a thing. You need a more expensive license for that feature. > Windows used to refuse to install on a removable drive.

No it is only supported for Windows-to-Go which I believe requires Windows Enterprise licensing. > In any case, I have some cheap 3.5" drives laying about.
