How to I transfer files from a micro sd card onto my laptop, then transfer the files back to a larger micro sd card from the laptop?
It's a Dell Inspiron laptop that doesn't have a port for micro sd cards. Plenty of USB ports though.

You can purchase a micro SD card adapter to make your micro SD card fit the regular size SD port of the Inspiron.
A better solution would be to purchase a USB card reader than can handle micro SD cards. Better than that is to purchase two so you can plug both cards to the computer at once and make the transfer direct from one SD card to the other without making copies to the laptop.
The SD card is not a permanent storage device. Be warned. It is recommended to make backups to a hard drive, USB thumb drive or to a CD/DVD.
Then, there is a chance that if the card is from a digital camera, that camera may no longer display the photos when accessed from the new larger micro SD card. The pictures will still be in the card. They just might not show up in the camera. You can still shoot new pictures and save to the card though.

Insert your blank SD card into laptop it should make a noise to let you know that the card has been recognized. Now left click somewhere in the middle of your desktop select the word new choose the word folder. Now sitting on your desktop is a new folder.
Now open my computer or this PC find your SD card on the list click on the SD card draw a highlight box around everything that is inside of your SD card. Left click and find the word copy right click on that.
Now minimize my computer with the minus sign.
Now you can see your desktop open up the folder that you just made. Left click and then click the word paste with the right mouse button. In a minute everything that was on the SD card will copy itself into the folder.
When it's all done take the SD card out of the slot and put the newer bigger one in there. Again go to my computer open up the SD card which will be blank. And copy and paste the folder that is on your desktop into the SD card it'll take a moment to do it you don't even have to take the information out of the folder like you did while you were putting it in there. Just copy and paste the folder or drag it and drop it onto the SD card and in a minute it'll copy itself

You purchase a USB Adapter, that has Micro and Normal Size SD Card slots.

Buy a USB card reader, they're cheap. Copy-paste from card to C: drive, switch cards, copy-paste FROM C: drive to new card.
