Expanding Phone Memory
I have had a Nokia 5 mobile for 2½ years and find that the 16GB internal memory is rapidly filling up. I save my photos and documents to an external 64GB SD card and this still has 57GB free.
Can I copy all the data from this SD card on to my PC, then format my card as internal memory prior to copying the photos back on to the new phone memory from the PC?

I was going to try a brand new card in the phone and try to format that as additional internal memory. If that is successful, and I succeed in copying the files back from my PC to the new improved phone memory, I can then wipe the original card and use it for whatever.
That, at least, is what I had in mind but I am cautioned by OG's comments about memory size. I notice that the latest Nokia 5 (now 5.3) comes with 64 GB of internal memory which is 4 times what my current phone has. (It's also the same amount as my first PC had back in 2000 - when it cost the thick end of £1000!)
I might just bite the "built in obsolescence" bullet!
Thanks again for the helpful comments.
