Help changing SD Card...

I have just installed the app....my backup pro... and I am transferring all apps and photos/videos to their online server.
My question is, can I now install my new 16 gb sd card and restore to the new card?
 
I would hook up the phone to computer in USB mode, transfer files to computer, then transfer back to new card once it's in the phone.
 
I did transfer files to my computer, just not sure how to transfer them back to my phone. also do you know if my apps transferred as well, or do I need to move them to my phone, install my new sd card and move them to the new sd card?
 
If you have apps stored on the sd card I would move them to the internal memory and then switch cards and move them them back.

do you mean in settings..use the "move to phone" for the apps that are on the sd card?

Would you also happen to know how to put my phone folder that I put on my PC back on my new sd card?

Yeah move them back that way.

As long as you are not using something like link2sd you should be fine to just copy the files from your sd card to the computer. Then copy them from there to the new sd card. Just make sure your apps are on the phone first so you don't risk messing them up. :)
 
I plugged in my phone and transferred my photos and videos, to create a folder, instead of using an sd card adapter..is it possible to put the 16 gb sd card, in format it, then plug my phone into my PC and transfer the files back into my phone. BTW I left all the apps on the phone, I will just move them into memory, as you said then move them back to the new sd card.

Yeah that should work.
