No external SD card installed.
I ended up tapping the Play Store, tapping the "speech to text" microphone, speaking "Keyboard", and I ended up downloading Google keyboard.
It more or less configures itself with a helpful tap here and there. At the end, I had a working and frankly better keyboard than the native HTC keyboard app.
