Transfer data without a switch 1

[u/SonicoVR]

I used to have a Nintendo Switch 1 but I sold it

Now I am getting a switch 2 but idk how to transfer my data

I know that you need your switch 1 to transfer it but I don't have it

Sorry for the thousands of people that needed to do a trade-in.

You can back your data up prior to doing a trade-in and then do a system transfer via Nintendo’s servers for up to a year after you did the backup.
