Getting phone AND SD card to show on a Windows PC

Hi. When I first inserted an SD card into my phone, my PC saw only the phone's own internal storage - I couldn't transfer my music files onto the card as I had planned. I went to Settings/Storage and changed the settings of the SD card so that it became the primary storage. My PC then showed only the SD card which was fine as I could then transfer the mp3 files.

Am I correct in saying that the phone's own little bit of storage is now empty and useless?

And IS there a way that I could have left all the apps etc where they were and still get the phone AND SD card showing on my PC? Thank you.
