Topic: My games won't download on my sd card

I recently upgraded my sd card to have more space. The games for some reason only download to my old sd card, 124 doesn't go far. Between NBA 2k and Final Fantasy, I pretty much take the whole space. Which is why I brought a 256. How can I download the games on my new sd card? It keeps saying error.

They way i did it @biglittlejake was to first stick in the New microsd into your Switch to format it.Turn your system off alway when taking out or putting in a Microsd(Off!!! not Sleep Mode). Then go to Eshop and click on your profile picture. The little circle in the upper right corner of the screen with your profile pic. This should take you to your Account Information menu which has your wish list and a redownload option. Click on the redownload option and then choose a click on all the games you want to redownload. Before forewarned though when i did this it took over 3 days of 24hour downloading to redownload all my games.

@BacklogBlues My problem started when I made the mistake of inserting the sd card on sleep mode.

I'm sorry to say you may have fried your new card @biglittlejake. Only two things i can think of is to turn your system off remove the new card, then insert it back in and turn the system on. If that doesn't work the only other thing i can think of is to turn your system off then insert your old card delete one of your games then try to redownload it again on your old card the way i said. If it starts downloading on your old card wait a minute or two then cancel the download. Then turn off your system remove the old card and insert the new card and try downloading the same game again on the new card. If it won't let you i would say the new card is fried.

@BacklogBlues My Switch and Phone recognize the SD card. I have reformatted it. Right now it's downloading, and an error hasn't happened yet, this time. It is very slow though.

Glad to hear that @biglittlejake. And yea it's a slow process it took about 7.5 hours to download a 24gb game and 3 days total for all my games and i have 100mbs internet. And again glad it's working now.

@BacklogBlues My internet is supposed to be 100 mbps, my devices get half of that. Strangely, my phone though gets 90s. We were told are walls are thick which is why we don't get what we are supposed to.

@BacklogBlues It said corrupt, it was so close to downloading NBA 2K updates, 80 percent. I guess, maybe my sd card is corrupted. I don't get why it recognizes it. Anyway thank you for help. I will continue to do trial and error. I Don't know if Nintendo support would help in this situation. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out, I hope.

I gave up and used my old, smaller sd card. For some reason the newer sd card works only on my phone. I will use the newer sd card on my phone when I upgrade my phone in a few months. As for Switch, I will just get another sd card. Thank you guys for the help.
