[2DSGamerdude]

Hi all,
um i was wondering if it is possbile to:

have/Run Games,DLC etc from Both Internal Memory & SD card on switch?

um if you get a new sd card, can you move some stuff over from sd card to internal memory and then copy back to new sd card?

i mean to save you the hassle of having to redownload stuff again like patches/dlc etc...

1. yes ,everything is installed whereever is space and you can move it around

2. if you have no emunand:
yeah, just move everything to the new SD card. super simple

if you have an emunand, it's more work and someone else has to answer

nice, it's just that from my exp when i ad to upgrade sd card for switch, just draggin and drop everything from old sd to new
gave some issues in my switch,
but i found a video that said that you must first format the new sd card on switch first before attempting to transfer over all your old data. (something about a SDXC update?)

no , my switch is unhacked, im using a switch lite, all official.

had an old og switch from luanch but sold it for for 150 euros for cash to get my switch lite.

im gonna update my old sd card from 64gb -> 256gb (A1, speed 140m/s?)
not fure if the switch sd card brand is any better than the sandisk ultra A1 one?

As long the card is legit, and that you format the SD card correctly, you should be able to copy and paste the data on the SD card to a new card.

oh okay, so if i do that then i'll have zero issues on my switch? cause in the past i had some issues rise when updating sd card to a new one.

Its only an issue if you are using emuMMC since most people install it as a partition rather than a file that can be simply moved over.
