Quick Guide to Inserting Your Memory Card
First things first, you’ll need a microSD card, which is the type of memory card the Nintendo Switch uses. Got one? Awesome! Now, let’s insert it into your console.
Step one: Power off your Nintendo Switch to keep everything safe. Next, find the stand on the back of the console and gently open it. You’ll see a small slot just waiting for your microSD card. Make sure the card is facing the right way – the label should be facing towards you. Then, gently slide it in until it clicks. That’s it! You’ve just expanded your Nintendo Switch’s memory!
