You should definitely upgrade to B9S. But normally it’s not a big deal, you still have cfw and don't need to re-hack. If you don’t have any issues, just follow the A9LH → B9S part of the guide. It is highly recommendable to test the new SD with h2testw before trusting it.

With this guide you get the latest version of:

• B9S and Luma (with boot.firm copied to CTRNAND as a fail safe)
• GodMode9
• FBI
• Homebrew Launcher
• and some more.

And to do the upgrade i dont need any of the previous files that were on my dead sd card?

Not really. The guide tells you everything you will have to download.

If you do not have a backup of your
SD:/Nintendo 3DS/
folder, you will have to reinstall all your games (and lose your saves unless you backed them up separately)
