Yes copy and paste between devices. Move is only if it's on the device. It's fallen into no man's land. Deleted from the card and not moved. Move we'll read as cut and paste. Generally not between devices and that's two devices.
Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

I see. I don't remember what I did exactly: copied or moved. Im not sure if I want to try things with the new map card I have, lol
So when my card arives, I am not touching the original and working mib1card. Do I format the new mib2 card then copy over the files from my mib1? I'm not really clear on what do do yet. Then do I just download the new maps and right them to the mib2 card?
DO NOT FORMAT THE NEW CARD (excuse the shouting). Delete the existing files on the card by selecting them and pressing the delete key. Once you have done that you will have a blank card ready to have the new files copied to it. Follow the earlier instructions for downloading at editing the new files.
As above and those links. The beauty of the new card is you don't mess up your original. So there is little to go wrong except getting that edit correct using the part number of your existing card.
My new card has arrived and I'm sorry for pesting again on here but there are somethings I am not sure of yet. My windows 11 PC and lap does not recognise any file system on those cards, how do I proceed to delete, copy or edit on my computer?
Also reading the linked guide which says '...used that SD for the firmware update, then copied the old maps back (before I found the newer maps). I don't recommend that though as it'll cause more wear.'
How do I do the firmware update?
And now ive put the unedited card back in the car and am getting 'unable to read...' error
Thanks

If it's a mib2 card it should be supplied with mib2 maps on it which you should see. If you aren't seeing anything then its a blank card. You don't need to format it which can be dangerous. So yes you should be seeing files on it else you have been sold a blank card.
Is there a chance that one or both of your computers have a virus? You should be able to read the cards. Since your car can no long read the original card it suggest something has happened to it. Either it has failed or the computer has done something to corrupt it which could be the result of a virus.
Or sold a blank map card by a rogue
If it's a 16gb or 32gb card it show it as such.
Assuming it was / is a valid mapcard you would have highlighted the files to delete - not reformat.
Take a copy of your existing card and then copy that onto the new mapcard to test. In the car it should recognise your maps you have copied across as mib1 and work. If it doesn't do this it's a corrupt card, return it to them.
If it is seeing your old map files then progress following instructions linked. Suspect you might not get this far.

I had put my original card in the puter first to copy files, the computer didnt recognise a file system. I the put the new card in to check if it would read different but it was the same. I then went back to the car where the issue was confirmed.
Ran a windows defender scan on the puter and found no issues. I also download another scanner (malwarebytes )and scanning now but nothing found.
Is the situation recoverable?

Something quite not right with your computer it should see the SD cards, new and old. Find another computer 🫣. Probably the drivers in Windows 11 for the SD card reader if built into the unit are not installed correctly or if it's an SD / USB external adaptor not working on the computer. It should see any SD card put in the slot whether a map card or normal SD card. BTW SD cards have a read / write lock but it's not that, that will be need to be clicked to unlock to write but won't be that if no SD cards are being registered as present. Some works computers do lock down external drivers to prevent data or programs being removed or installed on the hardware. That is an alternative a security lock being applied. That would be down to the security software put on the system.
