[WIN10] Dell Inspiron 14 - format drive during install

I'm working on a lowly Dell Inspiron 14, the one with 2GB of RAM and a 32GB eMMC (embedded, how fun). Since this laptop is essentially useless and I can't even believe Dell would market such a hunk of garbage (there's no way to had a real harddrive), I bought a 64GB SD card and figured I'd format the tiny eMMC, put only Windows on there, and use the 64GB card for programs and everything else. Problem is I formatted the eMMC, put my bootable copy of Windows 10 on a flash drive and start the installation, but it tells me "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the controller is enabled in the BIOS" Any ideas? I see it in the BIOS but it's not listed as the main harddrive and there's no way to set it as such. If I format it in the setup it just sits there and does nothing before becoming responsive again. -- Intel X3350 Quad@3.6GHZ Abit IP35 Pro 4096MB of Gskill 320GB+500GB SATA nVidia 8800GTS 512MB OC
