Hello, I have a small Dell inspiron laptop that has a built in Micro SDCard reader.
The reader works fine on Win 10 and the cards all are valid as well, but the card reader wont see any card above 16 Gig like my 32 or 64 size.
I have tried an other Linux distribution and had the exact problem.
Thanks
A card reader is - usually - internally attached to the USB bus.
The laptop was not build with Linux in mind - and maybe neither was the card reader.
This points to a general lack of driver on Linux - but as you have provided no info what so ever - until you provide the necessary info - we have no clue.
No screenshots - copy text from terminal - paste in comment - mark text and click </> in the toolbar.
Provide info on attached usb devices
$ lsusb
Provide some basis system info
$ inxi -SMISorry, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to these things, here are the results of the two commands.

I’ve tried searching for the answer prior as it seems to be a common problem with linux on Dell eqpt but none of the solutions worked for me.
Thanks
