If you have no hidden partition emunand you can just copy and paste.

Check your SD card partition on a computer.

Once you figure out whether you have a file based or partition based emummc you can follow this guide to move emummc to the new card

does this mean it had hidden partition or nah?

 

[petspeed]

No it doesn't. I don't know why you have a 32MB partition but if you had a partition based emummc you would have had a 29GB partition. That means you can just copy everything to the new SD card. I can see your card is formatted as exfat. I highly recommend that you format your new card as fat32 because exfat is known to get corrupted easily on the Switch.

Provided you use emummc the saves are on the sd card so they are part of what you copy to the new card. If you use sysmmc the saves are in the Switch and then you don't have to do anything about it

Have you even bothered to scroll through the previous replies, you're confusing them even more

no emunand. just copy all the files from the old to the new card.
do it manually via windows explorer, don't use backup tools as they might cause other issues (archive bit)

Did YOU bother to read the whole thread? If you did you would see that I have replied several times so yeah I have read it all.
The last thing OP asked was whether he had to backup his saves and I explained where the saves are located and why it is not necessary. I really can't see why that is not relevant and why it is confusing.
So chill dude, we are all trying to help here...
