First up, you need a bit of patience and a comfy chair because transferring saves from Switch to PC isn't a straightforward click and drag situation. You'll have to use a program to back up your Switch save file and then convert that file to a format the PC version of Stardew Valley can read. Check out some detailed tutorials online - they're your besties for this operation. Remember, always back up your saves before you tinker!

Short answer? You can't, not through any official means. Stardew's a gem, but moving saves between the Switch and PC isn't supported natively. You might find some community tools or guides that claim to do the job, but proceed at your own risk!

No direct path, sadly. Would be cool if there was an easier way to keep our farm life going across platforms.

Actually did this last year! The process felt like hacking the Pentagon, not gonna lie. Needed a third-party save editor and a bunch of coffee. It's doable, but prepare for a mini adventure. And yes, totally worth it for that sweet, sweet Stardew Valley continuity.
