Hi all!
This is my first post on tom's hardware so i hope i am not breaking any rules.

I have bought myself a new Lenovo Idea Tab 2 A8-50, which has 16 gb internal space memory. I have also bought a 32 GB Kingston micro SD card, which i have inserted and was recognized by my tablet.

The problem is that when go in Settings-Apps-All(tab)- and click on a certain game app, it only shows me a part of the app size that i can move to SD card. For example Injustice is around 1.1 GB but when i try to move to SD card only 100 mb are confirmed to be moved to sd. I think it should be able to move the entire app to SD card but i do not know how to do it.

I must also say that i have not formatted the SD card before inserting it into my tablet.

What can i do? Does anyone know?
I appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

Yes you can mess things up when you root the device, sometimes it causes update issues or some apps won't run properly.

Just keep your files like videos and photos on the SD card and don't install a large amount of apps on the device. 16 gig is not bad, although that amount includes the Android system itself so you probably have only about 10-11 gig free to use.

Do you advise me to root? Or not? What is rooting exactly? I have just bought the tablet and i have understood that when you root, you can make it malfunction if not done properly.
What do you advise me?
Thanks!
