Replacing old micro SD Card - not as simple as copying files across

I am replacing my 64GB micro SD card with a 128GB one.
I read a few posts that seems to say it was as simple as copying all the files from one to the other and then starting up the LG G4 with the new card,

It does not appear to be that simple, because if you look at the card in File manager within Android you see the SD card actually appears as /storage/3644-041F

When I look at the new 128GB SD Card within android it has a different GUID. Something like /storage/3265-932J or some such. Many of the apps that have stuff on the SD card (music etc) have used this folder name and therefore complain it is missing.

Is there any way to do this properly because a lot of apps will be badly effected?
 
One key point which was not touch upon is that if the new SD card will actually work with your smarty phone.. typically and within the owners manual and most sites which deal with spec/data about your phone, all have listed a SD GB limit.. in my case having the LG Rebel I'm limited to 32GB on the SD card.. So before you spend that kind of money on a new SD card and that size, you might be surprised to learn it wont work because you've surpassed your GB/Ram limit.

But do not fear, Android Nation has this covered:
