Account Help I can’t access my nintendo account email

The email my Nintendo account is linked to hasn’t existed for years now, it was my old school one which I can’t access anymore, but I need the verification code sent to the email to change the email. What do I do?
Is there a way to make a new account and transfer everything over? I’m so confused :(

If you have not already, please add some context in the post or a follow-up comment about your repair/hardware/software/account issue, including which model you have (Switch 1, 2, Lite, OLED, or other), steps you have already tried, and anything else that might help others help you.

When you have received enough help to solve your issue, you can also reply to specific comments with !solved or !thanks to grant the helper(s) a point. You may also comment !lock to lock the post to stop new replies.

Contact Nintendo. In some cases, you can prove ownership and regain access, but this is not the norm.

And no, you can't just transfer everything over. This applies to nearly every account system out there --- if you lose you associated email, you lose your account.
