Robert Much more than a hint, the actual procedure . It worked fine and increased the size to 4GB I then put the SD Card back into the PC and used Win32 Disk Imager to read the image in for backup that way I can mess it up and get back to where I was without having to rebuild everything that was working.
I installed Adafruit GPIO and this time it had no issues and tested by running Blinky.py and it blinks an LED on P8_8 .
