Gaming Question: Nintendo Switch Transferring To New Console

[tivu100]

So got a new Switch Lite. Would like to transfer save, and other data from a Switch with 5 users, and 2 Nintendo accounts.

My question is whether save and other data would be fully transferred. No digital games, just update data , and app like Pokemon Home.

No. For example a save for Animal Crossing cannot be transferred.

if the switch is not banned yes you can transfer saved games from the nintendo account that is connected to the new switch but Animal crossing you can not.

I meant fully transferred to format the old Switch. Not just share the save.

yes you can but one saved game at a time, you would have to redownload all of your games though.

It’s the same. It just transfers the saves and redownloads the games but it will not transfer game saves like animal crossing and your album with pictures will be erased.

Thanks.

For album data I can transfer using the micro sd memory?

If you can please list all data that won't be transferred beside AC save, album data.

Nintendo console is a nightmare to transfer. For 3DS at least homebrew app is an option. Not Switch on patched version.

We don't have digital game. Just DLCs, Update data, and small apps like Pokemon Home.

When you go to setting there should be somewhere a button that says “Copy Save to another console” or something like that and then it will show you all the games that you can transfer the saves.
The same saves will transfer when you use the complete transfer process.
Other than the rest should get transfered except pictures and videos as said

yes you can transfer them first to your micro sd if you want to back them up
