I’m going to upgrade the micro SD card I use for emulation to one with more storage. What is the best way to close the micro SD card I have in my steam deck now to a new one so I can just plug in and go with all my games and save files?

    You can use dd, but as others have said, dd is nicknamed disk destroyer. If it was me, I’d probably just copy the files, which will be slower but easier to do.

    phanto’s suggestion of using gparted/kparted is also a good one. Another thing to keep in mind is that many cloning programs will clone the partition size as well, so you may need to use kparted when you’re done to grow the partition to the larger microsd size.
