Really messy communication again from Nintendo!!

The patch notes say you can upload your system to the cloud ready for your switch 2 if you’re selling your original switch early. However it states it will automatically wipe your switch 1 on completion back to factory settings.

However, the news section directly on the switch has been updated with a page dedicated to installing this update and says feel free to run the switch transfer to the cloud at any time without any issues and doesn’t mention at all that it will wipe your console. So watch out folks.

I remember transferring my content from the og Switch to an OLED and it saying data would be lost on the old one. It wasn't the case as ahead of donating it I did the factory reset myself. This is probably going to be a similar case of not everything being deleted.
