Hey mitchmatch. Usually the default storage space used for installing apps is indeed the internal storage of the device, but there's a way to change that. I'd suggest that you take a look at this article here: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-apps-on-sd-card-in-windows-8/
Although this is stated in the article, I want to say it one more time - please remember to backup any important data which you might have on the SD card or the tablet, before you try this solution.

Hope that helps.
