Hardware Upgrading Switch SD Card

[KsAmJ]

hi everyone

i bought a new 400 GB Micro SD card for my switch as i wanted to upgrade from my current 256 GB one
i have assumed that just copying all the contents from the current 256 to 400 will work but after done that i got a corrupted data error on the device opening and to resolve the issue i had to delete the Nintendo Folder and let it be created again by the switch. BUT THE PROBLEM I LOST ALL MY NSPs Installations and i had to go through each and everyone to install including the updates...ect.

My question is : is there a way to mirror the content from old card to the new one without facing such issue??? and how to do it?

i was thinking using some tool like mirroring drives or something but didn't try it

Are you sure it's a legit sd card and not a counterfeit

you dont need to delete the nintendo folder
id say just delete the switch sept etc. folders that you can then get from a kosmos package

it is SanDisk from Amazon Official Seller

Tried it but didn't work out for me
i guess maybe re coping the files changes something on them than the original. but it should be a way to do it without issues
i faced the same issue when i upgraded from 200 to 256 before

thats weird because i changed from 32 to 64gb and it worked fine by just copying things over
i was at 6.2ofw back then with atmos 0.8.3

You use exFAT?

yes (is this the cause??)

yes (is this the cause??)

could be because most people including me use fat32
and it is recommended to use fat32 cause homebrew devs say that exfat causes corruption
