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?

From what I've seen it doesn't matter. Just put the new card in and format it. Then insert both cards into the steamdeck or PC and copy steamapps folder and a file called libraryfolder.vdf to the new card then you're done. Also you can just switch them however you want but make sure to close games if opened.

If you need to install a new drive you can use clonezila but I recommend a fresh install.
