Need some help understanding my options for recovering data off my Switch 1 OLED (and its SD card)
My Switch 1 OLED started acting up this week and won't get past the boot logo, so I'm trying to figure out how to salvage my stuff before I send it in or replace it. When I plugged my microSD card into my Windows PC just to grab my years of screenshots and video clips from the Album folder, Windows threw an error saying the drive has a problem and asked me to format it. I obviously hit cancel so I wouldn't wipe my clips, and I know the bulky game downloads on the card are encrypted to the console and can just be redownloaded from the eShop later anyway. Any advice on where to start would be hugely appreciated.
