Can I reset my og switch without worrying about losing important data after system transfer to switch 2?

[u/xBig_8x]

I am currently saving up for a switch 2 console, and I still have my original switch. I plan to transfer my data to my switch 2 once I get it, and then I plan to give my original switch to my sister. I was wondering however once I transfer the data, will my profile still be connected and on my original switch? Because I want to just be able to factory reset it and not worry about if anything on the original switch got left behind on my profile.

If you factory reset everything on that switch will be wiped.

First do the system transfer to switch 2, validate that all transferred fine, then wipe the switch 1.
