Solution
Then it sounds like the manufacturer has restricted that option on that device. It happens.

If that is the case, you won't be able to run apps from it, but you can free up some space by moving things like photos, videos, music, etc., to the SD card.
It is completely possible that the phones manufacturer has restricted this option on your device. It happens a lot, but here is how to try and see if you can make the change.

How to turn external SD card into internal storage on "Marshmallow".

NOTE: Please be sure you start with a blank SD card. It needs to be blank because when the card is converted to "Internal" storage, it will be formatted (wiped) and encoded (making the cards data only readable by that device).

1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”.
4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage.
5. Reboot your phone.

NOTE: If you don't reboot the phone, many things may not work correctly, so make sure you do.
