The migration process is very easy as long as you have a computer you can use with plenty of storage space to hold the data on temporarily. The migration from one sdcard to another isn't significantly more complicated than installing an emuNAND for the first time. Hekate does it, there's options, you pick the right ones. However you will need a special program for your computer to format sdcards. At least to follow the recommended guideline. Microsoft doesn't think sdcard's above 32gb should be formatted in FAT32 but nintendo does. So you'll want to prepare an sdcard by formatting it in FAT32 rather than exfat, which will require a 3rd party formatting tool on your computer, but most guides reference said tool. At least that's how I've always done it, and how I've always read guides. In theory exfat should work fine, but why bother with "should work fine".
When creating an emuNAND either a new one or a migrated one, yes hekate will create a new partition on the sdcard. Hopefully that clarifies the matter.
You don't need to read the stuff below here, unless you buy a 2nd sdcard in a distant future month and want to migrate your emuNAND from the current smaller one to the future larger one.
This looks reasonably up to date: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/transfer_sd/ which also references https://switchgui.de/switch-guide/user_guide/emummc/partitioning_sd/
Essentially it's almost as easy as copy/pasting the files. Because it's as easy as copy/pasting the files, knowing how to tell hekate to create the correct partition and knowing how to tell hekate to use a backup rather than starting fresh.
