Mine is fat32 but i want to convert to exfat.
Can i just copy contents to a pc, change to exfat and copy back the contents?

But you all seem to forget that even if the game is 32 Gb. it ONLY makes files of a max size of 4 Gb. Did you check you folders?

The NSPs are larger though.
Also you bumped an almost year old thread just to say that?

The chance of corruption is much higher with exFAT so it's not recommended.

Speaking of which, what benefits are there for staying on 4.1.0?

I too had the formatting update issue, but I don't have SX OS or anything yet. I have just been playing around with the BotW saves for now. I also couldn't back up my NAND for obvious reasons on FAT32.

I know this is an old post - but for future reader help - I too had version firmware 4.1.0 (firmware version no matter) * I just reformatted a 32GB SD card to EXFAT and then backed up my NAND into one large file. Of course there are remedies to put multiple files into 1 large file too. A nice 32Gb card is good for working "both" paths.... the Switch will still see it without update using a 32GB card. LOL
