3. Insert it into the card reader.

A method for those who have neither flash memory, nor USB, nor a card reader. Then the cloud storage comes to the rescue. Have you ever used the services of Yandex Disk, Google Drive, DropBox?

Installing a game on a tablet
Now we need to go into the settings, there we see the item "Security" and click on it. The menu opens, and we see the item "Unknown sources." We put a tick.
Our tablet should "swear" due to the fact that protection will be weakened and the likelihood of introducing some kind of virus will increase, but this will not happen if you download games from trusted sources. Next, you need to find our APK installer that you downloaded to the tablet’s flash memory. For this we need a conductor (standard is enough).
If we don’t have a file manager, go and download it to the Play Market. Now we go into explorer and look for the APK that you downloaded to flash memory. The window "What to do?" Or "How to install?" Pops up.
When you click "Check and Install," our tablet will connect to the Internet and scan the APK for viruses, and after that it will install. But if we click "Install", the device will unpack the game without analysis, and after that you should click "Only now."
So we installed the necessary application, and figured out how to download games to the tablet through the computer.
