Help Moving Games and Apps

I have an HTC One SV, and I need to move some of my games and apps to my 32 GB micro SD card, but I am unable to. I know some apps are unmovable, I just want to move those I have downloaded myself. I have my 2 GB internal memory, and my 4 GB phone memory (which for some reason they called it an SD card even though it is not). When I click move in apps settings it will only move between the internal memory and the phone memory, but not my micro SD card. I have also tried several apps that are supposed to move apps for you, but they do the same thing, only moving between the internal and phone storage.

I really do not want to root my phone, is there any way at all I can do this without rooting?

I also did the tweak where you change the default download location, and it worked, but my phone recognizes external memory as my 4 GB phone storage, not my SD card, so it just changed it from my internal storage to my phone storage.
 
Repartition the SD card to an ext4 partition for your apps and a FAT32 partition for the rest. (Any sizes will work - you decide where to split the size. Remember, though, that without special software, or if you're running Linux, your computer won't be able to read anything on the ext4 partition.)

Use Link2SD to move apps to the SD card.

Note, though, that just because an app can be moved to the SD card, there's no guarantee it'll actually run from the SD card. Running an app from the SD card is sort of trick, and it doesn't always work. Android is designed to use the external SD card to store data - music, videos, documents, etc.
 
An easier step I found is to buy the app called Folder Mount from the Playstore, it lets you install something and move it to your SD card
