Starting from scratch. What am I missing, what am I planning on doing that is wrong.

I have a switch that is 7.0 that I share with my kids. I wanted to play NES/SNES games, etc. through retro arch. In order to do this I bought a new switch (which fortunately is an older S/N so I'm set there.) I've ordered an SX Pro which will arrive sometime this week. Currently I'm at 4.1 with the new Switch. I plan on doing the following, but was wondering what stupidity I have planned that I should avoid.

The switch has no Nintendo account. It is in airplane mode and never has been added to a network. As I said it is on 4.1. It is in airplane mode, but turned off auto updates just in case.

I planned on using one of the Pokemon games, which should (I believe) take me to 6.2.

I will then install sx os.

I have a 256GB card I will format as FAT32.

I will add my games through the back up method (cart in, to SD)

Any screw-ups so far?

I then plan on putting it into stealth mode. At that point I will add to my network and take game updates.

Thoughts?

Everything looks good. Not sure what you mean about using a pokemon game, but if that in anyway is related to piracy don't tell me and remove that from your post.

Just follow this guide to update offline.

Ahhh, ok that makes sense then. I wouldn't risk it personally and just use Game_Over's guide, but what ever works for each person.

No, not related to piracy at all. I have that game (among many others) and but putting the cart in I believe it would upgrade the FW to 6.2.
