When upgrading from Switch 1 to Switch 2, it's crucial to perform a system transfer during the initial setup. This process is the only opportunity to secure your saved data, game downloads, and personal content. Failing to do so means risking a factory reset, which erases everything on the new console except cloud-backup items. For an effortless transition, keep both consoles nearby and connected to the internet during the transfer, which takes only about 5-10 minutes and maintains your gaming setup seamlessly from old to new.
Nintendo only gives you one chance to move everything over. Fans who skip the system transfer might face loss of data they can’t recover.
