[QUOTE="MikeyTaylorGaming, post: 9685005, member: 94987"] I've answered the question now to be fair, I just copied over the files that the switch needs in order for an injection to boot it up and it works, it's just the transferring of all installed games to the SD that's taking it's time now. I'm just gonna do them in 10GB lumps and see if that helps! I mean, if it's something that's gonna save me a lot of time installing and uninstalling crap all the time then I'm more inclined to get a bigger card and use the other for something else, yano? Ahh yeah I understand now. That's why the 'file size' vs 'size on disk' varies slightly, isn't it. From previous experience and a bit of research the FAT32 filesystem only seems to support up to 4GB files, as in, the max size any one single file can be 4GB. Since the majority of switch games are over 4GB exFAT is the required filesystem (I think), with a much higher single filesize limit! That's exactly my issue. Stuff isn't copying and I can tell from the properties tab when comparting the 2 sets of copied data. All the folders copied, but there were over 200 files that didn't transfer! Since that's the case and I know the switch boots with the new card, I'm just gonna transfer them all a clump at a time and see if it's just a problem with how much data is being transferred causing an issue. Not sure why it would be but... Meh, when playing games it's not an issue. Also, thanks everyone for the quick responses! [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
