How to Install a Micro SD Card in Your Nintendo Switch - Switch Basics

The Nintendo Switch only has 32GB of storage, but you can install a Micro SD card to get as much more storage as you need! Alex has the details on how to do just this.

“Oh shit that’s how you do it”

I know this is an old video, but here's a pro tip for anyone using Micro SD storage. Don't launch your games directly from the SD card, otherwise you will have slow load times. Use the SD card as "cold storage" where you offload games you're not playing currently onto it and swap games you want to play onto the console. Just keep swapping as needed. 👍🏻

Straight to the point. Easy. And informative. 15/10

*In my head* : dear god I'm gonna have to take apart the switch or something arn't I?
*After* : oh it's that easy...

I'm actually Running out of Space for my Nintendo switch So I just wanted to say Thank you For Posting This This video is actually Very Helpful

[edwardgiver]

Thank you so much for making this video. I searched and searched for the micro SD card slot, but never lifted the kickstand. It seems so obvious now, but was certainly elusive.

So I walk into GameStop today, and I buy a game, and right as I'm about to checkout... a guy walks in with 5 Nintendo switches!!! I got one finally!!! Yeh!

Thank you. Didn't realize it "clicks" in, so I had to look up your tutorial.

I appreciate you also visually showing the insertion. The card is so small and slim that I got worried that if I did it wrong I would have ended up breaking something, so actually watching the video and seeing how simple it was, plus the right way to face it, was more helpful than I thought it'd be.

My big dumb caveman slappers feel a bit unfit for delicate stuff like this, so seeing how simple the process was helped calm me down, as goofy as it sounds. Ty.

Takes xc cards too! Just got my switch and it works. Just prompted an update for it

You can get 512GB MicroSD card. But they're made by Chinese companies you have never heard of, and thus, will be dodgy.

Straight to the point and very helpful. Thank you greatly!

[TheIMAJX]

So helpful!!! I feel quite dumb for not being able to find the slot 😂

[dapeace]

Thank you Soo much for being so straightforward and to the point without fillers. Appreciate you boss!

[parksonian]

Very cool to mention the update for sdxc. Even if it only applies to a few people, it's super important info for them.

[FARROKH]

It's super easy to install it. Love my Nintendo Switch ✌🏼😇

It's crazy how far tech can come. I bought a 512gb card with 465gb usable. Pretty neat.
