Can't get adb shell to format sdcard to expand internal memory???

I have a S7 Edge and my internal memory is down to only 1.7 gig. So I bought a 64 gig sdcard and installed it in my device. I have installed the newest android studio with sdk and set up adb shell. In command prompt I can get adb shell to recognize the device. I have debugging selected on the phone and I get the commands to work in adb shell but no luck. First I format the sdcard then I give the command {sm partition <disk> private} and then {reboot} and it reboots phone but the phone doesn't show internal storage and sdcard combined. Any ideas or suggestions? Any help would be great? Thanks!!!
 
Earlier the device was detected is it still detected or does it say unauthorized in cmd when you type adb devices?
 
Huh? File explorer and command prompt are totally different things. You can run the commands manually.
 
Yeah for some reason, when I do the commands manually it doesn't work either. But the device shows up in command prompt. Maybe I don't have adb shell installed properly? Does this not work with certain sdcards or updates on the phone?

I know there are some devices that it doesn't work for not sure which ones.
I run the commands manually. The .bat file runs so fast i can't see what it says so I'd rather see errors or output.
 
When I run the program they have you download from XDA, it says 'The system cannot find the path specified. ERROR: device not found.' Any thoughts? Thanks for helping me out by the way!
