Connect the microSD memory card to the PC - how it works

Conventional computers do not offer a direct way to connect a microSD memory card to the PC. We'll show you how it works anyway.

Connect the microSD memory card to the PC

• Adapter: You need a suitable adapter so that your computer can read the microSD card. This is available, for example, in the form of a normal SD card. The microSD is simply inserted here and then connected to the PC. Such adapters cost just a few euros, for example at Amazon. However, there are also larger adapters that can be connected to the computer via USB.
• Smartphone: If your smartphone can accept a microSD card, you have the option of accessing the SD card via the smartphone. Simply connect your smartphone to your computer via USB as soon as the card has been inserted.
