What version do you have to be in to use SDXC cards?The switch has to update to use a SDXC card. No formatting will change the fact that its a SDXC card :/ I had to reupdate my new switch to use mine :/
Then it's not formatted to FAT32.i format to fat32 dont work system will update tu use sd card....i try this with 16gb sd card and it work
The Switch doesn't know the difference between SDHC and SDXC, it just needs an update to recognize ExFAT. Many people have formatted their cards to FAT32 and confirmed that it works without the update.The switch has to update to use a SDXC card.

That's a good question. With the influx of Switch users, we've noticed a high count of people purchasing fake cards online.Before people start discussing this in detail....
OP @Amino Did you buy it on Ebay?
I had a friend who brought me his 3ds to 'fix'. He bought a 128GB card from ebay. It died after writing about 2gb of data to it. Locked up the card and write protected it. Only use a name brand reseller or you will be toast.That's a good question. With the influx of Switch users, we've noticed a high count of people purchasing fake cards online.

hmm, the switch I got that was most likely updated to 4.1.0 via transfer when I had to send mine in asked to update to use my SDXC 256gb samsung evo. So I am not quite sure. I was going off the fact that if the switch did not have the update necessary for SDXC cards that formatting it most likely would not work... But if its just a exfat update then I would understand why it would work. Odd that mine said SDXC when I had to update itWhat version do you have to be in to use SDXC cards?
It should know the difference lol I have mistaken. Mine asked to update for SDXC support thats why I said that.Then it's not formatted to FAT32.
Windows won't let you format to FAT32, you have to use a 3rd party tool like guiformat or minitool partition wizard.

No, it requires an update to use exfat, which never installs with any firmware version. The system detects an exfat card and prompts for an update to install the necessary software to run exfat. If you never insert an exfat SD it will never download that update to use it.i would also like to use my mSD , i still have it in its box.
but guys isnt exFat the format the switch is actually using by default ?
if we were to format the mSD to exFat on our pc, will the switch not recognize it?

The exfat update is an entirely separate update from standard firmware updates
