I've got many apps installed on the SD card, and my SD card is going to be full. Therefore, I want to change my SD card to a bigger one. But I do not want to reinstall these apps again. Can I transfer data from the old to a new SD card? How can I transfer data from the old one to a larger SD card?

Yes, you can transfer data from an old SD card to a larger one.
