Since that device should be running Android "KitKat" you would not be able to make the SD card the default storage. If you can find some what to upgrade it to "Marshmallow" (which it may not accept an upgrade) then you can try the instructions I am including in this post.

If, however, you can't upgrade to it, or even after upgrading the manufacturer has restricted the option so you can't make the change, then you cannot run apps from the card. You can still free up a lot of space though by moving things like your photos, music, videos, etc., over to the card. They also take up a lot of space.


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.

Great instructions. Buy my S7 Edge doesn't offer "Format as internal" only "format" (which is external). There is no "Erase & Format" only "Format:"
