Android Central Question

I need to upgrade my MicroSD card that is formatted as internal storage. Can I just copy out the data over the USB cable and replace the card and format the new card as internal storage and copy the data back, or do I need to reset the phone and install and format the new card before installing the apps again.

I'm unsure if any apps are installed onto the MicroSD card when it's formatted as internal storage

This is just it - you have no idea what data on your device is on the card vs. internal storage.

We kind of had the same discussion a short time ago - https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/936217-how-do-i-know-if-my-files-my-sd-card.html
