@@theostrugaming It was nerve-wracking for sure! I was worried I'd lose important data if I messed something up, and every video I watched would only talk about doing it with a PC. Luckily I did find that you can just switch the cards freely but you'll likely have to reformat it to your Switch, and then redownload your games. It's not too bad if you play mostly physical, but I wouldn't suggest that way if you're digital only or just have a ton of digital games.

Just an fyi if you play Animal Crossing New Horizons. If you want to transfer your island over you will have to get the Island Transfer tool on both consoles. Once you do that, just follow the on screen instructions. If you don't do this you will loose your island. Unless you are completely OK with starting over from scratch.
