LG GPAD 8.3 GPE Lollipop and SD Card

[BobANY]

New to Android - So wanted to ask the Experts.
Just picked up a LP GPAD 8.3 GPE with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) non rooted. Added a Samsung EVO pro 64 gig Micro SD card and it sees it just fine. I see the card on storage with around 60 Gig available. I didn't see any options to set SD card as default for anything including photos/videos/apps. Based on some research, I downloaded ES Filer Explorer. I see the internal storage listed under SD as 0 and the external under sdcard1.
I see most of the data on SD 0, on sdcard1 - Android created a folder called Android with a gear on folder and below that a data folder. Exploring the data folder does shows some app data from what I installed. However, I can't see how to set apps to use the sdcard1 for anything. All of the Apps I installed are being installed to the internal storage. I also tried to create a folder on the sdcard1 using ES Filer Explorer and states operation failed. Tried to unmount and remount and formatted card (only see minimal app data but there appears to be some).

Any feedback as how to use the external storage for apps/ETC. would be appreciated.

You can't use external storage for apps google disabled the option a while back. Only way will be by rooting the tab.
