The Nintendo Switch provides a minuscule 32 GB of internal storage, users find a need to have microSD cards to increase the storage capacity for bigger games on the handheld console. Aye! You got a new microSD with extra capacity, and your Switch’s storage is also about to be filled. Don’t worry. These simple steps will help you to migrate locally stored games.
Before transferring the files, it is a precautious option to backup the games on the microSD card to your laptop, in case of any conflict during transfer.
The Game saves are stored in the Switch’s internal memory, so nothing to worry about them provided you don’t wipe Switch’s local memory.
UHS-I microSD cards are used by gamers on the Switch and are also recommended by Nintendo, and they are Ultra High-Speed Phase I friendly, enabling a smooth gaming experience.
