You can put the 16GB card into your PC, transfer all of the files onto your computer and then put in the 64GB card and pass the files onto that one

You tend to get better SD card reliability by formatting it in the device you'll use it in. Then if it's feasible, read and write from it in the device over the USB cable.

I know, it sounds lame. But where the Samsung phones are finicky about cards, it's worth it.
