That's exactly the issue. Calibre will not install to a removable drive. This is coded into the installer.

I use calibre on a very similar system (Dell Venue 8 Pro, originally Win8.1 and now Win10) and encountered the same issue. I used Portable, installed in my D: microSD, for a while but had several workflow issues. I then moved to the standard installed version of calibre and used a klug that maps an empty folder on C: to drive D:. This worked OK and calibre would install to Drive D: thinking it was actually a folder on C:.

I changed to install calibre directly on C: after a series of issues with my card no mounting or self-ejecting. While this seems to gone away will BIOS upgrades and/or upgrading to Win10, I still use it this was. My 32gb Drive C: is limiting, but calibre itself is not large. My library lives on D:
