Question about upgrading memory card

Pete731 · 04-12-2012, 08:50 AM

Hi everybody, I was hoping for some advice about my memory card. I've had a Vox since christmas, love it, but now I want to upgrade the microSD card. I have a 4 GB card in it, and will be getting a 16 GB. The one on it has various files and folders put on by applications. If I change microSD cards, can I simply copy and paste those onto the new one, and still have them work? Or am I going to have to reload all my applications and data? My computer runs windows vista (I know

) so what would the best way to go about it be?

I think that's all I did when I switched from a 4 GB card to an 8 GB card.

Pete731, assuming that you have a microSD adapter so that you can plug it into your computer, then you can just copy all the files from the old card into a folder on your PC, then copy them back from there to the new card.

Thanks for the advice oldyellr and skemsley

I now have the card installed, and all my data is moved and working. Tons of storage!
