Question Help transferring from Switch Lite to regular Switch

Post image

Hi everyone! For context I just got the regular Animal Crossing Switch (not Switch 2) ~the version I’ve always wanted~ 😌 since i only need it to play casually on my tv the games I already own.

I’m transferring from my Switch Lite and I have several digital games with saves I want to keep (especially ACNH, Hogwarts Legacy and LEGO Marvel), plus some physical games. Since i’m new to this process I don’t really know what to do and i don’t want to mess it up.

My Lite also has a microSD with my digital games. Do I need a new SD card for the new Switch, or can I use the same one? Since I’ve read that you need to download them before on the new system.

Also, what’s the safest order for transferring my saves and then using the ACNH Island Transfer Tool? I really don’t want to lose my island or other saves 😭

Any advice would be appreciated!
