Hacking Hardware Moving from a v1 Switch to a OLED Switch with CFW.

[CriticalPact]

Hi, so like I said in the title, I'm moving from a v1 to an OLED, the OLED of course has its magic on it to run CFW, the thing is, knowing that the v1 eMMC takes 30gb and the OLED takes 60gb or something like that, can I back up my v1 switch eMMC and move it to the OLED? If not, how do I move all my games and saves, etc..?

Thanks.

You can move your saves by running Checkpoint or JKSV on v1 Switch and backing them up to SD card, then copy them to new Switch SD card (using a pc) and use that same program on new Switch to load them. All games unfortunately will have to be reinstalled on the new Switch.

If the OP used Emunand for most game playing and saves, then not sure if this would be usefull, because you would only want to do this official transfer way, using OFW.

There used to be option to not connect to Nintendo server. I think connecting is only to remove the primary status on the source Switch.

OP probably had been naughty and don't want to connect to Nintendo server.

The source Switch may be wiped so that may be another reason to not use this method.

No naughty here, I just never wanna touch the normal MMC besides doing it to play online, I even pay for it lol. It is mostly what you said, the source switch is wiped on the original MMC
