Hello guys,

I just got a new and bigger sd card but when I transfer all data from my old card I get the error message "2016-0247 the system can't access to the microSD".

I read and tried different ways of copying and replacing but nothing worked. I'm pretty sure that some of you has done it before, so how should I proceed?

Thanks!!

No erros, the card is correct.

Did you format the card with a PC ?
I would suggest you format it with the Switch then copy across ONE game to see if that works.
If all okay copy across the rest

I did format with pc and switch as well.
The problem is the 'Nintendo' folder, which has the saved games.

If I only copy a game, which was installed before, into the new card I get a message that says 'no program data downloaded, the download will be begin now'.

Now, if a copy the Nintendo folder I get the error 2016-0247, so is not possible to change the sd card and transfer all saved data??

EDIT: If a install a new game in the new sd card and I try to play with it I get the message 'to play you must have the program installed'.
It is like if switch doesn't recognize the new sd card.

I had to remove AutoRCM in order to properly install the card and only then was recognized and functional. Finally I copied all my data from the old card.
