Move apps from USB to Internal

Is there a way to move apps from USB back to internal? THe reason for this is that my new 4k Max does not recognize my USB that I used on my older firestick. My thinking is to moe apps back to the old. Format a new USB - transfer them to the new USB, then load them onto the new Max. Does that make sense? Can it be done

Go into storage and you should see the option for moving the apps. And no way to safely move apps from one stick to another like this due to system files etc.

that option is not there in the older firesticks.

ok, wasnt sure it was a firestick. Maybe a firestick user can chime in.

One thing I found experimenting with the Firestick is that if you connect to the Internet through your LAN (wired connection) you lose the USB visibility. You must use Wi-Fi with the USB.

Ya you need a file manager like ESFileExplorer

Please review this for all firestick issues and guides, if the following hasn’t worked feel free to ask.

This should resolve most to all issues.

The safest way is to just setup the Max from scratch.
