Need some help. So I recently bought a bigger MicroSD card for my Switch. I was wondering if their is a way to transfer all of my Save data temporarily into the internal memory for my Switch while I switch out the SD card?

Save data is on your Switch, not the SD.

What they said^ all you have to do is power off the console. Remove the sd card and put it in a pc and transfer it all to the desktop and then to the new card. They don't save to internal memory if you have a card in.

Your save data stays on internal while you can transfer the whole game to your microSD. (keep in mind games installed on internal original need to be archived and downloaded again to SD.)

I've noticed save data honestly takes up very little. That ~25GB internal for just save data will go a long ways.
