First of all I know that once you use a SD Card on a Switch it is tied to that switch until you format it. I am wondering if there is anyway with CFW that you can use the same SD Card on another Switch. I just got another Switch because miy other one got banned. So I am wondering if there is a way to transfer the five SD cards that have CFW on them over to my new Switch. I have One 512 GB Two 256 GB and Two 128 GB micro SD Cards. I am thinking that it is probably pointless to try and format one of my cards and reset it up for CFW and transfer the emunand over to the reformatted card correct?

The Nintendo folder prevents the SD card from being uses on multiple consoles. There is no way for CFW to prevent this.
