Yes, just copy entire SD card contents over to the 64GB SD card. As long as it's used in the same console you'll be fine.

Uhm, so everything except of menuhax? Because like you said it got patched?

Spoiler: SD Card

Back up everything from your sd card to a pc, do both sys+emunand backups/dumps, then follow the a9lh guide. You'll need to flash your old emunand to your sysnand after it's all set up (unless you plan on continuing to use an emunand).
There's not much point in copying everything to a new card, as the guide will have you format your SD at some point.

I would copy my Nintendo3ds folder over after everything is done.

Yes. After you've completed the a9lh set up, transfered your old emunand to sysnand (or restore emunand to your new sd), you can restore all your sd contents (including the Nintendo3ds folder) back to your new card.

Uhm how can I do that?

To disable the bootloader, you just need to replace the "boot.3dsx" with the one provided through Luma3DS.
But it appears everyone has convinced you switch the A9LH, which is both good and bad. Good because Menuhax is old and no longer recommended. Bad because it was just a crap ton of noobs who have no idea how to actually help anymore beyond throwing the Guide at everyone.
Still, I really suggest reading through the Guide at least once so you know what you are getting into. 90% of the questions you could ask are actually covered in the guide, you just need to read ahead to ensure you are ready.

You can actually keep using your current emuNAND with A9LH and any other CFW. Although it's more suggested to use hourglass9 to flash your emuNAND to your sysNAND. It not only allows you to save more space by not keeping the emuNAND. But you also won't need to install your DSi/GBA games twice.

The hell is that menu? And why haven't I seen it before?

The menu is called CtrBootManager. I am rather shocked you haven't heard of it, it used to be the most commonly used bootloader before CFWs added payload loaders.

I'm pretty sure you have no other choice. 11.3 patched MenuHax so your current setup is now obsolete, which leaves you with following the https://3ds.guide as you've been suggested. Following that will get you to Luma3DS v6.6 which will enable you to boot again.

Actually, that is not what 11.3 did.

You suggested, thus giving the option to continue using/fixing the OP's issue. That's not being a noob, that's just be suggestive.

So I changed it but it still goes into freeze mode

So, I go with the new guide or not? lol

Unless you have an <11.3 emunand backup that you can restore, I can't think of any other alternatives than to follow the a9lh guide.
...but like Crystal said, read through it first to familiarize yourself with the procedure. And while reading through it, I'd advise downloading the required files.

If you are already set on going with A9LH instead of your current setup, go with the new guide 3ds.guide. If you want to keep your current setup, just download the latest Luma3DS and replace the file mentioned in my previous post and also copy over the "arm9loaderhax.bin." you will also have to delete the configuration file in the "luma" folder, since there's been a lot of changes done to Luma.

Delete all files from the previous build of Luma3DS as well delete the files for CtrBootManager

Did you delete the luma launcher from the "3DS" folder as well?

 

[Loe7]

Did you delete the luma launcher from the "3DS" folder as well?

So the Launcher.dat is also from Luma?

That's from gateway3DS
My last bit of suggestion is just follow the 3ds.guide and get yourself A9LH. The guide has far more details than I could ever provide. There's only so much knowledge I have left from the old menuhax days
