How do you upgrade micro SD card running Atmosphere?

[funkmasterta]

I just got a 1.5 TB micro SD from Prime Day.

Can I just copy and paste everything from my old micro SD card onto the new one?

Thank you!

Do you have hidden partition emunand?

Thanks, how do I find this out?

When I stick my micro SD into my Windows 10 laptop, it cannot read it and says that it has to be formatted?

Check your computer management -> disk management, if you have unallocated space then you have a hidden partition emunand.

I think the instructions for Hekate might be wrong or outdated. There are several inconsistencies and errors.

I did everything twice, from scratch.

I'm going to do a third attempt and take notes of the inconsistencies and where the instructions might be wrong / outdated / not specific enough.

EDIT:

I've updated some of the step and added some questions about some ambuigities if anyone else wants to help refine the steps.

Just make a copy and perform the edits.

I will answer your questions from the document here:

Why close all the way out and go back to the Tools tab again? You are already in the correct screen. Is there a specific reason for this extra step?

It is not needed to close and go back to Tools. Just stay where you already are. I don't know why they put that into the guide

Which emuMMC folder? There’s 3 of them:

I marked the different emummc folders in different colors:

Step 9: Move content of Yellow emummc folder into the green emummc folder
Step 10: Move/copy the folders Backup, Bootloader and the red emummc folder to your computer
Step 17: Copy the backup and the red emummc folders from your computer to the new SD card
