HOW TO TRANSFER PC SAVE TO SWITCH AND RETAIN ALL ACHIEVEMENTS
Hello everyone! Not familiar to making tutorials but I'll try my best. I found a way that will allow PC saves of Hollow Knight to be transferable to the Switch and have all of your progress transferred. This also unlocks any achievements on the Switch version as soon as you enter your save file.

Instructions
- Enter the game on your Switch and create a new game. Exit the game after you are able to save.
- Extract the save file with either Checkpoint or a save manager of your selection. (Saves should be saved as user1.dat or any number depending on the slot.)
- Go to https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/ on your PC and insert your PC save file into the browser based editor.
- Copy all of the information about your save simply with CTRL + C (duh)
- Insert your MicroSD card into your PC and locate your Hollow Knight save file.
- Open it with Notepad++ or any text editor of your liking and simply paste all the information of your PC save into the Switch one.
- Insert your MicroSD card back and head into the Checkpoint save manager.
- Restore the save and see the results. Everything should be there.
