Copying games from 2 memory cards on 1 card

@DAB1 Can you? I would think nintendo's anti-piracy may reject your card if games from another card were pasted onto it.

As it is, if you upgrade to a new switch (transfer from one switch to another), Nintendo's system will not allow you bring your games to the new switch via micro sd card. (I know you're not transfering consoles, though. I think you could do that with the 3ds system, but the switch's anti piracy has more restricted protocols). I had a 400gb micro sd on my launch switch and upgraded to an OLED in december. Transferring to a new switch requires that you redownload all your games - I couln't find a way around it, and others here have had the same experience. Yes, it sounds like a ridiculous, mountainous task to redownload that much. I felt the same way, but you can redownload a lot over night while the switch is in sleep mode. I think I downloaded most of my games over two nights. Once I had the bulk of my favorite games downloaded the first night, the annoyance I felt for having to redownload my games had mostly gone away.

On eshop, select your user icon (upper right) to open your eshop account page, then select the Redownload tab, and you can check the boxes of all the games on the list that you want to redownload, and the switch will then start redownloading all of them. You can leave the switch in sleep mode over night, or for the day. Over night may have steadier download speeds due to less server traffic? That's the feeling I've gotten, I don't know it as fact, though.

I think the only thing you can copy & paste from one card to another is your Album folder containing screenshots & clips. If anyone knows otherwise, please share below.
