How can I get the apps back off my SD card?

[AC Question]

I recently had to get a new phone exterior, though I kept the battery and SD card from the original phone. My gallery has all of the pictures from the SD card, but I can't access any of the applications I saved to the SD card. I opened Application Manager and there is no "SD Card" tab. Can I not access these apps, was some of the data still stored on the system's memory? The folders with the apps under "My Files" all show up saying "No Files".

When you move apps to sd card very little of the data goes there, most remains on the device

Ideally, the objective of the MicroSD card is to use the memory card strictly as a data/image etc storage that is not necessary for the operation of your device.. in other words, I would keep apps on the internal memory and send only images etc to the SD card. Also, I would refresh the memory when saving data/system information via Google drive/cloud etc.. this would be a more plausible means to access your apps and data.
