After this, find the section that says “User” and then go to “Transfer Your User”. Go the main home menu of the your console and go to the System Settings menu. This process won’t transfer your games over: you’ll have to redownload them.įirst thing you need to do is tell your old Nintendo Switch that it’s going to a new home, so to speak.Save data cannot be merged or transferred between users: so do the transfer before you play.Once finished, the original source console will have the data and user information erased.There must be enough free space to accept all the data transferring over.
