Moving to a larger sd memory card

Problem...= hundreds of apps on the 8Gb sd card, with data files attached.
So how do i transfer the apps AND the data files, bearing in mind the sony xperis arc (and all android phones) run on linux...and my computer has a windows operating system and internet explorer...

I looked at this site for inspiration...i think it says i cant sort it without a computer running on linux so the ph and the computer are talking the same language

I have given up and emailed Sony Ericsson customer support

My network provider says...use an sd card adapter and copy the sd card contents, unmount the sd card, insert the new one...download all the apps again from my account on the android market and then put the new card in the sd card adapter and copy all the sd card files back to the new, larger sd card....HAHAHAHA it might work for images and songs, (but might not...app permissions etc) but i dont think it will work for app specific data coz it wont be able to read the same computer language...i might be wrong...

Maybe i should buy an android tablet with mega mega storage and an sd card slot THEN it will probably work...OR partition my computer and install linux on part of the hard drive

Maybe i dont have any faith in my new technology...perhaps it will work...watch this space...
