The Nintendo Switch only comes with 32GB of internal storage, which is minuscule if you plan on having more than just a handful of games and apps downloaded to your handheld console. The solution is to use a microSD card to expand the Switch\u2019s storage. But what\u2019s the easiest way to do that? And if you already have a microSD card and want to use a new one with more capacity, how do you migrate your files? Don\u2019t worry; we\u2019ll walk you through it all. <\/p>\n

Before you begin, it\u2019s always a good idea to back up your games to a desktop computer using a microSD card. Of course, any title downloaded from the Nintendo eShop (they\u2019re tied to your account) can be archived and downloaded again directly, if needed. But it takes a lot longer to download your whole library; having a local copy will save time. <\/p>\n

Game saves (like your completed run of The Master Trials<\/em> in Breath of the Wild) <\/em>are saved locally to the Switch\u2019s internal memory. As long as you archive and don\u2019t delete game data on the Switch, you won\u2019t lose your valuable saved data. <\/p>\n
