Gaming Make new Switch primary

[Adr990]

So, I got a AC Switch which I want to make my primary Switch.

I deregistered my old Switch, but I was already logged in on my new Switch.
And I have a AC save which I don't want to lose, so I'm not willing to delete my user to link my Nintendo account again to a user on my new AC Switch.

Is there a way to make my AC console primary without removing the user? EShop is just saying "Primary: not this system".. no option to make it primary.

Thanks!

You shouldn't have to remove the user. You just need to enter the shop on your old switch, click your icon, and then scroll down and hit deregister. Then, just open up the eshop on your new switch and it should become primary.

If this doesn't work, you can try deregistering the old switch from the Nintendo website, but this can only be done once a year.

1. Using a web browser, visit the Nintendo Account website.
2. Sign in to the Nintendo Account you wish to deactivate.
3. Select Shop Menu.
4. Select Deregister Primary Console.
5. Enter your Nintendo Account password.
6. Select Deregister twice to confirm.
7. The next time you connect to the Nintendo eShop from a Nintendo Switch console, the console you use to connect will automatically be set as your primary console.
