Unfortunately, since your phone is running only "KitKat" you would not be able to download directly to the SD Card. If you can update the device to "Marshmallow", (which may not be possible as your device may not be capable of handling that version, but I it can't hurt to try) then you would be able to see if it will allow you to turn the SD card "Internal" vs the standard "External".

The only other option I know of for your device would be to consider rooting the phone. Not something I could advise you on. For information on that I would suggest you visit the "Rooting, Jailbreaking & Unlocking" Forum. http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/forum-117.html

Select all mwdi files, tap on "move" button, tap on sd card, tap on music folder or data and tap on "move" button again. You will see a progress bar while fies are transferred. Then delete files from music app and download folder.
