Questions before starting to use SX OS

[Shenanigans]

Hey everyone

i just bought my SX OS licence and i have a few questions before i start ( they might be somewhere else on the forum but i cannot find a sticky thread with the answers)

should i fully update my switch before i start the process? my switch has not seen the internet or done updates since lets go evee came out.

is there a step by step that helps you with the whole entire process, start to finish?

thanks in advance

NAND Backup Guide

There has been a number of request asking for a guide on how to backup the NAND from your Switch. Hopefully this step by step guide will help out the newcomers in successfully backing up their NAND. Prerequisites: 1. A hackable switch, please reference the How to know if a Switch is currently...

One important thing - do not just keep one copy of the NAND - keep at least two copies on different media.
For instance I have a NAND copy on an sd card and a copy on my PC plus a third copy on a usb - so if one copy gets corrupted at least I have backups

Once you are in the SX OS bootloader, just tap on options, then tap Nand on the left. It's really easy to use. Just make sure you have an sd card with more than 30GB of free space on it to store the dump.

THANK YOU!
