Homebrew Question Transferring saves from old switch to new switch

[DerekGeneric831]

So, I want to transfer my saves from my old Switch to my New Switch console.. How do I go about it?
I have a NAND backup of the console on my pc, just no idea where to start. I'm abit nooby so the simpler the better.

when you have your old switch then install Checkpoint and dump all Saves (idk but i thought there was a dump all function)
then install Checkpoint on your new switch and load all saves on it
I warn you if you try to install saves with newer Game Versions then installed it could brick the game so try make a dump of all Saves on your new Switch too


or you use the cloud service from nintendo

Oh that's something I forgot to mention.. The micro sd port on the switch is toasted.. It looks like this so I can't access anything. Even trying to load OFW doesn't seem possible.

Also, not sure why it's like this personally.. Have a feeling it's to do with me overclocking the system.

i mean the crypto keys for the NAND you gets these by send biskeydump to your switch (dont need a SD)

then you can use hactool and extract these saves manually but im not sure where these saves are

Tried to use hactool but it doesn't recognise my old Switch as a usb device
