How to move everything possible to sd Marshmallow 6.1
 
With Marshmallow, Nougat and above you first have to format the SD card as Adaptable Storage (AKA Internal Storage). There should be a notification when you first put the SD card in to set it up, or go to settings -> storage -> select card -> menu -> format as internal (steps might vary by phone). Then you can go into Settings -> Apps and choose to move apps that support being moved (not all do).

The SD card is erased and formatted, then encrypted when used as adaptable storage, backup important data on it first.
