My Neo Z83-4 has been a good soldier, but the 32GB eMMC storage is too small for my current needs. Can I do the following?

Insert a 256GB SD card into the TF slot
Format it with FAT32
Reboot and go into Bios
Disable eMMC drive
Change boot drive to new SD card
Save Bios changes
Insert Windows 10 installation drive into USB slot
Reboot
Install Windows 10 onto SD card via installation flash drive

I'm fine with starting over with a fresh Windows 10 install. Anything wrong with my plan?

As far as I'm aware it is not possible to boot from the TF slot!

Your only option is to boot from a USB HDD/SSD.

Another option is to use:

USB sd card adapter.

Of course you need to boot from the USB port but you can use the data from the SD card.
