Hi! My phone currently has a 16GB SD card mounted and formatted as internal storage, but it’s almost full because of all the pictures I take and apps I have. I just bought a larger card, a 32GB part, but I have no idea how to get everything to the new card. Even if I install it with all files copied on it, the phone will want to format the card as internal before letting me use it; formatting erases all data… Anyone got any idea on how to do this?

Here’s what I’d do. Format the new SD card in your phone.Insert both cards into your PC.Use some cloning software to duplicate your data. (I like Macrium Reflect but others work too.) Your new card should be ready to go!

Insert the new card into the phone and format it for use in the phone. Connect your old card to a computer using a memory card reader. Then connect your phone to the computer and manually transfer the files over. Data files will move no problem (pictures, movies etc.) app folders probably won’t work. There may be software out there that will let you clone the old card to your new card. That might also be an option.

used your guides and it worked perfectly infact it ‘s the only way to preform a Sd change

After inserting it into your computer, copy all the documents from one and paste them to your desktop. Then take the first one, insert the second one, copy everything and you’re done.
