Do you have to make sure that your Nintendo Switch is formatted before putting in the Micro SD Card or can you just simply put in the card and use it on the Switch after already having saves and games installed on the system? How does it work?

@Darthy09 The micro sd card has to be right format for the switch. If you stick the card in the Switch, the Switch can format it. You can also do it on a PC via one of the links below. Note: formatting wipes your micro sd card. But that's always the case when you format a card, formatting wipes/deletes all card content. Someone else here might be better at breaking it down, and chime in. But if you want official directions, these nintendo support pages have the official directions.
