Interesting but would prefer not to throw more money after this thing right
now.

There are 5 partitions on the MMC drive
(trying to reproduce - - from gparted )
/dev/mmcblk0p1 EFI system partition fat 32
system drive 260.00 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p2 Microsoft Reserved partition unknown
16.00 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p3 basic data partition ntfs
Windows 56.96 GiB
/dev/mmcblk0p4
WINRE_DRV 1000.00 MiB
I would think that this is a 'bootable' drive - - - - will wait for
confirmation of that.
Surely there must be some way of installing onto this MMC drive - - - yes?
Over to y'all.
