Transfer Data from Laptop to Micro SD Card on Windows 10 Automatically

EaseUS Todo PCTrans can help with transferring data to the target micro SD card. Its "Backup and Restore" feature allows you to transfer all the data from your PC to a micro SD card. You don't need to copy and paste the target files one by one. This tool helps you transfer all the target files to the target destination with one click. 

Note: Your micro SD card should be the destination drive.

Step 1. Create a backup file of the source hard drive

Launch EaseUS Todo PCTrans on your Windows computer. Click "data transfer" and select "Transfer via backup."

Hover your mouse over "Data Backup", and click "Next". Later, confirm the default settings of the file name and file path, or you can customize the settings on your own.

Now select the items you want to transfer to the other hard drive. EaseUS Todo PCTrans allows users to create backup files of multiple file types, including applications, personal data, and user accounts. To transfer files from one drive to another, deselect the "Applications" and "Accounts", hover your mouse over "Files", and click "Edit".

This is where you need to select files on the source drive. Expand the drive so you can selectively choose desired files, after then click "Finish". In the end, click "Backup". Wait for the process completes. 

Step 2. Restore the file to the destination drive

Launch EaseUS Todo PCTrans and follow the same way to reach the step of selecting a transfer method. This time choose "Data Restore" and click "Next".

Choose the existing backup file presenting on the interface, or navigate to the exact file path where the backup file is, click "Restore".

You're back to the "Files", click "Edit" to get in. The backup file is viewable here. You need to click the pencil icon to set the target location, which is the other hard drive, and submit the change. After the basic settings, click "Finish" and finally "Restore".

Way 2. Transfer Data From Laptop to Micro SD Card on Windows 10 Manually

Another option is to transfer data from your computer to micro SD cards by manually pasting and copying. This method can be cumbersome and time-consuming when you get a lot of data to transfer. You must keep repeating the operation of copying and pasting to move various files. If you have multiple files or large files to transfer, it is recommended that you turn to Way 1.
