Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with preparing my SD card for the free SXOS. I just want to use the emulators.

I formatted my 128gb Micro SD card through the switch when I first got it. But I have read the card must be in FAT32 or exFAT format. The only problem is I have a fair amount of digital games on my card (Skyrim, XC2, Hollow Knoght, Stardew Valley etc) plus all of the savegames too.

When I connect the SD Card to my laptop through an adaptor it tells me the drive must be formatted before it can be used, so my laptop can’t see any of the content!

How can I safely backup my data and saves, format to FAT32 or exFAT and then transfer the data all back again? Or am I a little bit screwed? :(

Thank you for any help and I hope I made sense.
