My Win10 phone , a Lumia 640Xl , besides having a horrible dearth of software, only has 1 GB of storage...but it does have an SD card; how can I maximize the use of this very limited machine? You can't save programs to it.

You can move many apps to the SD card(some will not allow it however.). on Windows Phome 8.1 you moved apps in storage sense.

The 1 gigabyte you are referring to may be the system memory. This you can not increase. It is best to run less programs at the same time if you are low on memory.

These are Windows Phone 8.1 so 10 is a bit different.

Lets move Steam

Steam can not be moved. Core programs from the OS will not even have the option.

You can set the default location to the SD card.
